- As its name suggests, picocom is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation
- program. It is, in principle, very much like minicom, only it's pico
- instead of mini!
- Picocom was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem configuration,
- testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite well) as a
- low-tech "terminal-window" to allow operator intervention in PPP
- connection scripts (something like the ms-windows "open terminal window
- before / after dialing" feature). It could also prove useful in many
- other similar tasks.
- Picocom is ideal for embedded systems since its memory footprint is
- minimal (less than 20K, when stripped).
