"Tip" command

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a equivalent of the UNIX "tip" command for
Linux?

The apropos command perhaps? What kind of 'tip' would you want?

I think the op is looking for an application such as minicom.

Here's the UNIX man page:

http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mansec?1+tip

Not sure if 'minicom' would be appropriate, from the description in
that man page; maybe ssh would be closer? (I've never used 'tip' so I
could be completely off-base, here.)

Tip also connects to serial lines.

Hi all,

I think 'cu' does the same thing..?? haven't tried it
I just want to connect to a serial port to see if it's
alive.

Use cat to send it AT commands? Is there something connected to the other
end? And yes, cu should work.
