Minicom may be the easy way to do it. > Also is there any one who built a car mp3-player with a LCD display and > keypad? Not a car one, no, but I did build a home theatre one. No keypad, but I wired up a infra-red receiver circuit to the serial port. Then it was simply a matter of reading what was coming in to the serial port after pressing a remote button, and setting up winamp to respond to those commands. The same should be possible with Linux/xmms. The LCD I cheated on, I used a pre-programmed LCD chip from a local electronics store. Using another winamp plug-in to pump the LCD information out to the chip. The chip was pretty cool. It automatically scrolled the screen like winamp does. Was pretty damn cool project. Somebody bought it off me within a week, for a price way above what I built it for. So I bought an MP3-capable DVD player with it instead. Wish I had more time for this kind of stuff (sigh) --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services P/L -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
