Terminal program

Can anyone recommend a good terminal program? I'm meaning good ol' RS232, not that modern IP tomfoolery.

On the same topic, do any USB->RS232 converters play well with OS4?

No, we don't have any drivers. I'm going to keep mentioning the pl2303 until somebody writes a driver for it.

If you need it write it.

usb drivers aren't that hard, if you are supporting 1 specific device.

I tried! I had no idea what I was doing and gave up!

@Chris

Ah okay, that's a bit different then.

Not having one I don't know what class they show up as.

broadblues:
There are two common brands: PL2303 and FTDI.
The PL2303 has been cloned a lot, and often does not quite comply with it's own definitions.. so it would be a poor choice as you can never tell if it's a "real" chip.
The FTDI chips are much better protected, piracy wise.
After a long series of letter writing and NDA signing, I did finally get the developers information. It's just another project that I'll get around to "someday".
Too bad about the NDA, or I could release the documents to someone with more time on their hands.
I was excited about it, but then, how many people nowadays really need more serial ports?

i have an half working pl2303 driver..

A GPS dongle that use PL2303 with TERM

@afxgroup

That's what I was trying to do. I was more interested in the GPS decoding part, but the USB issues prevented me from ever getting that far.

the GPS decoding should be easy when you have the GPS data ready to be processed. At moment the drivers lacks the possibility to choose the speed and the others paremeters correctly (when i try to change them the drivers stops to work) and main problem.. lack of time......
