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.

The following can be repeated for each modem desired (-s, -S, and -i will apply to any subsequent device if not set again): -d Serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyS0).
