Serial utilities

[Scott Burns]

Hi,
    not entirely on topic, but I'm looking for some utilities to 
monitor/configure serial ports.  We use a lot of Stallion boards under 
SCO, and got used to easyadm.  Stallion have stated they have no 
intention of porting this to linux.

    I'm looking for a package to run under Fedora or RHEL (we are likely 
to deploy both ) that allows configuration of both RFC2217 remote serial 
ports, onboard ttySx ports and Stallion EasyIO ports.  It should show 
port usage (pin status, bps throughput, current settings) in either an 
Ncurses (preferable, we do most maintenance over 28k modems) or X.  One 
combined tool would be great, but individual tools to do the same would 
be fine.

    Googling etc has not come up with much in the way of serial tools. 
 I usually use stty but this does not have the "point-n-click" effect 
I'm looking for - 3am with a factory stopage is no time to be 
deciphering those options anyway.  statserial seems okay but I'd really 
prefer one centralised tool like what is availabe for SCO.

    Does anyone have any leads for me?
