Free serial box software for linux

Serial Over IP is a tool for the transport of serial interfaces over UDP/IP. It is very usefull for connecting distant equipment that run via a serial interfaces to a local computer.


One linux will be server and one will be client. On the server you can start the program typing the following command:

bash# serialoverip -d /dev/ttyS0 9600-8n1 -s 127.0.0.1 3000

... and on the client:

bash# serialoverip -c 127.0.0.1 3000 -d /dev/ttyS1 9600-8n1

In both commands the IP address is the server IP. Note that you have to start the server first, and it will be efectively be running only after the first packet received from the client.

Roster-in-a-Box project is a course management system designed to facilitate the use of autograded homework assignments, while also allowing for text-based questions to be submitted online and graded online by the instructor. I developed and currently use the system for my introductory statistics and microeconomics courses at Long Island University, and I have had it in production since 2005. While you will be able to break the program if you try hard enough, it is stable and very much ready for use.
I wrote the program because I wanted something simpler than Moodle (and also because my school was not supporting Moodle at the time that I started the project). I love Moodle, and Moodle may be right for you, but it wasnt right for me, because I didnt want the course management system to take over my course web site. Basically, Roster-in-a-Box handles the homework and grading functions with a couple of web pages and leaves you on your own to design the rest of your course web site. That may or may not be what you want.
It should be quite simple to take my statistics modules (and the forthcoming microeconomics modules that I just havent gotten around to packaging) and get your own introductory statistics course up in no time. It is also quite simple to set up a course that consists of only text-based, manually-graded questions. On the other hand, if you want to write auto-graded assignments for some other purpose, you will have to know how to code them yourself. The structure of the modules should be somewhat self-explanatory to experienced programmers, but is probably daunting to those who do not know how to code. The entire program is written in PHP, and uses MySQL as a back-end database.
Version restrictions:
- There are things you could do while editing the assignment list that would leave it in an inconsistent state. For example, if you leave a page open, then open up a different page and make edits in that page, and then go back to the first page and save your changes, you may screw things up. I will get around to fixing this problem at some point, but in the mean time try not to do things like that.
- The program uses the PHP session variable, which by default times out after 24 minutes (supposedly due to security concerns). You should bug the web site administrator to lengthen the PHP system setting session.gc_maxlifetime to be as long as possible.
- By default, the system resets to the Spring semester on January 1st, the Summmer semester on May 15th, and the Fall semester on September 1st. I should probably make these dates editable somewhere in site_settings.php, but instead youll have to dig through administer.php and homework.php if you want to change them.
Enhancements:
- This has been used in a production environment for two years now, but the code has never been released.

Mail::Box can manage a mailbox, a folder with messages.

INHERITANCE

Mail::Box
is a Mail::Reporter

Mail::Box is extended by
Mail::Box::Dir
Mail::Box::File
Mail::Box::Net

SYNOPSIS

use Mail::Box::Manager;
my $mgr = Mail::Box::Manager->new;
my $folder = $mgr->open(folder => $ENV{MAIL}, ...);
print $folder->name;

# Get the first message.
print $folder->message(0);

# Delete the third message
$folder->message(3)->delete;

# Get the number of messages in scalar context.
my $emails = $folder->messages;

# Iterate over the messages.
foreach ($folder->messages) {...} # all messages
foreach (@$folder) {...} # all messages

$folder->addMessage(Mail::Box::Message->new(...));
Tied-interface:
tie my(@inbox), Mail::Box::Tie::ARRAY, $inbox;

# Four times the same:
$inbox[3]->print; # tied
$folder->[3]->print; # overloaded folder
$folder->message(3)->print; # usual
print $folder->[3]; # overloaded message

tie my(%inbox), Mail::Box::Tie::HASH, $inbox;

# Twice times the same
$inbox{$msgid}->print; # tied
$folder->messageId($msgid)->print;# usual

A Mail::Box::Manager creates Mail::Box objects. But you already knew, because you started with the Mail::Box-Overview manual page. That page is obligatory reading, sorry!

Mail::Box is the base class for accessing various types of mailboxes (folders) in a uniform manner. The various folder types vary on how they store their messages, but when some effort those differences could be hidden behind a general API. For example, some folders store many messages in one single file, where other store each message in a separate file withing the same directory.

No object in your program will be of type Mail::Box: it is only used as base class for the real folder types.

tsemgr is a GTK+ application which was made to manage the SonyEricsson T68 mobile phone.

It allows you to read and send short messages (sms), view and edit the phonebook, upload files via IrDA and Bluetooth, and turn your phone into a remote control for your Linux box.

The ser2net daemon allows telnet and TCP sessions to be established with a units serial ports. Note that ser2net supports RFC 2217 (remote control of serial port parameters), but you must have a complient client. The only one I know it is kermit application (http://www.columbia.edu/kermit).
Enhancements:
- dataxfer.c, devcfg.c, devcfg.h, ser2net.conf, ser2net.8: Added a s banner token for printing out the serial parameters.
- ser2net.conf: Cleaned up the ugly banner3.
- Makefile.am: Add ser2net.init to EXTRA_DIST.
- configure.in: Move to version 2.3.
