[oclug] Null-Modem Between Machines

[Jonathan Earle]

Following the text-console-howto, I set up a serial console last night
(needed to catch oops output) and am running minicom in order to see the
console messages.  It mostly works, but I find that minicom is truncating
lines at a fixed length.  Is there a better console app to use with serial
console which will not truncate lines?

Cheers!
Jon
