Serial communication in Tiger

[Dennis Brown]

Hi All,

I just ran into a problem that perhaps I can use Rev to solve, but I  
don't know if I can, or where to start looking, so perhaps one of you  
can point me in the right direction.

I have a robotic glass cutting machine I built 12 years ago.  It uses  
a serial communications port to initially program its internal  
EPROM.  I used a Mac (since deceased) with a serial port and terminal  
communication software to send two small files to program the machine  
when I first built it.  Now the machine is acting up, and I have  
replacement chips for it, but I have to program them.  I use a  
Keyspan USB to Serial port device and driver which work with a serial  
terminal app.  I can communicate with all the hardware, but I can't  
control the app in the way I need to.

All I need to do is send a file one character at a time to the device  
and wait for the echo before sending the next character --piece of cake.

Anyone know if I can use Rev to do this?

Thanks,
Dennis
