Serial and Modem Connections

The TinyTERM Emulator can be used to directly connect the PC to a multi-user system (usually UNIX). A direct connection requires a properly made cable to connect the serial port on the PC to a serial port on a multi-user host system. This cable is known as an RS-232 or serial cable. See The RS-232 Standard later in this section.

Also, the TinyTERM Emulator provides automatic Hayes modem access. This means that the TinyTERM Emulator can be allowed to provide the default Hayes-compatible modem command codes to perform functions such as dialing and hanging up.
