Good afternoon folks,

Currently Haiku has no serial port console application.

BeOS came with SerialConnect which won't run under Haiku due to #2161


I started writing a Terminal application similar to SerialConnect. I
guess I should hurry up finishing it and commit it I guess.


Ah. Good news indeed :)
If you push what you have so far I definitely could give you a hand with 
it if desired.

How robust and capable is the current serial communication ?? is it reliable yet ?
The usb_serial / pc_serial drivers actually seem to be working fairly well, we just need applications 
to take advantage of it.
is it only working with usb-serial adapters or does it work with generic serial ports as well ? and I know of a tons of useful applications for Serial ports. Some of which would attract users and donations
