Hello, I'd like to maintain the package picocom
github/homepage: https://github.com/npat-efault/picocom
As its name suggests, /picocom/ is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation program. It is, in
principle, very much like minicom, only it's "pico" instead of "mini"!
It was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem configuration, testing, and debugging
tool. It has also served (quite well) as a low-tech serial communications program to allow
access to all types of devices that provide serial consoles. It could also prove useful in
many other similar tasks. It can be used in embedded systems, since its memory footprint
is rather small (approximately 40K, when stripped and minimally configured).
Please review:

CATEGORY="Utils"
SUMMARY="Minimal dumb-terminal emulator"
DESCRIPTION="picocom was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem
configuration, testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite
well) as a low-tech \"terminal-window\" to allow operator intervention
in PPP connection scripts (something like the ms-windows \"open
terminal window before / after dialing\" feature). It could also prove
useful in many other similar tasks. It is ideal for embedded systems
since its memory footprint is minimal."
