Apple: USB to Serial

by sotto

This still left me with a way to connect to the serial device, and OSX doesn’t come with tip/cu. Fortunately, I found a cool feature in GNU screen, where given a serial device and baud speed it will emulate a console client. Just type

$ screen /dev/tty.usbserial 9600

IOGear -232A USB serial dongle under OS X

See this at: kfu.com| Added on 02/26/08
