telnet to serial port
OK I imagen this is a simple but I cant find an answer in google.
when logged on to linux through via the console, I want to be able to telnet through to a device connected to the serial port.
Do i need to install a terminal client program (putty/tera term)
Or is it possible to use the built in telnet application?
Cheers

PuTTY is available for Linux but it is a graphical program, so you can't use it at the command line. A common program to use at the CLI for this purpose is minicom.MentholMoose

If the serial port is local to the machine that you're logged into then why do you want to use telnet? Use minicom or whatever your favourite serial capable terminal emulator is.
If you want to allow network access to the serial port from other machines or via telnet to the local machine then use something like conserver.
