NAME

       tcpser - emulate a Hayes compatible modem

SYNOPSIS

       tcpser -d dev -s speed [-l log_level -t tracing_options] ...
       tcpser -v port [-l log_level -t tracing_options] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tcpser command.

       tcpser  turns  a  PC serial port into an emulated Hayes compatible modem that uses TCP/IP for incoming and outgoing connections.  It can be
       used to allow older applications and systems designed for modem use to operate on the Internet.	tcpser supports all  standard  Hayes  com-
       mands,  and  understands extended and vendor proprietary commands (though it does not implement many of them).  tcpser can be used for both
       inbound and outbound connections.
