hello, I'm new to using tcl and expect and currently am running some rlogin expect scripts under cygwin. I would like to communicate over the serial port as well but the examples I've seen for using fconfigure are like this...
fconfigure $com -mode 9600,n,8,1 -blocking 0 etc.
When I execute my script under cygwin it says that the "-mode" parameter is not supported.
I cannot find any good documentation telling me what level of expect or tcl is required to support serial communication and how to set it up.
What level of tcl/expect supports com1 communication in windows, where may I find it? Does the level of TCL/expect in cygwin support serial communication?
Thanks for your help.
