Resolution: None


Initial Comment:
Hi,

I encountered a serial device that required me to hit "enter" followed by a "ctrl-j" in order to send commands to the device.

Either "add linefeed" is broken (seems to add same old \n alone), or a new feature is needed to support the hyperterminal "send end of line to end of line" option.

Thanks,
-Todd

Hi Tod, 

looks like this is related to the problem I mentioned at http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/minicom-devel/2007/000698.html

"man minicom" says this:
"A Toggle  'Add  Linefeed'  on/off.  If it is on, a linefeed is added before every carriage return displayed on the screen."

So I believe "Add Linefeed" is only used for displaying/receiving data but not for sending data when pressing a key.

I turned on "Capture to minicom.cap" and it did not contain
DOS like \r\n for pressing <enter> even if "Add Linefeed" was active.

But i didn't try <enter> + "ctrl-j" yet.
