GSS-Terminal?

[Willard Goosey]

So, does GSS-Terminal 1.02 have some requirements that aren't listed in
the manual? Or is it just broken?

On my 3b1 with system 3.5, if I try to run GSS-Terminal on a serial port
with nothing connected, it hangs a while then times out.

If I try to run it on a serial port hooked up to a computer (that I can
talk to with async_main) it segfaults!

I have no experience with GSS-Terminal. I usually used C-kermit
for connecting via RS-232 to other systems.

Hmm ... is it possible that it is trying to talk to a modem and
not getting the responses it expects? I don't know what GSS=Terminal
expects.

Or -- is it possible that it is having problems with differences
between the shared libs which come with 3.5 vs whatever it was built
for?

Sounds like a problem with versions of shared libs to me. Does
it come with source, or pre-compiled? If it comes with source, can you
compile it into a static binary (no shared libs)? IIRC, on the 3B1, you
had to jump through hoops to make a shared library program.

Good Luck,
