## picocom-1.6 – minimal dumb-terminal emulation program

## Description

    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).
