microcom has it's own package at
https://github.com/Oliviers-OSS/microcom
nothing done for about three years
nice but very limited option switches
however there is also picocom found at
https://github.com/npat-efault/picocom
and compiles to a 23k single file with a lot more option switches
help is-
picocom v1.2
Usage is: picocom [options] <tty device>
Options are:
--<b>aud <baudrate>
--<f>low s (=soft) | h (=hard) | n (=none)
--<p>arity o (=odd) | e (=even) | n (=none)
--<d>atabits 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
--<e>scape <char>
--no<i>nit
--no<r>eset
--<s>end-cmd <command>
--recei<v>e-cmd <command>
--<h>elp
<?> indicates the equivalent short option.
Short options are prefixed by "-" instead of by "--".
maybe (is to me) of more use in todays world
and is still being maintained and updated.
regards
