Using mindterm in command line

[jagannath]

Guys,

I played around a bit with the minterm examples to see if there was an 
option to connect to the device without the terminal window. I saw the 
RemoteShellScript example which reads the commands from a file and 
displays the output in the standard output. I modified the code so that 
I could get the commands from the standard input and display the result.

But my real need is to actually log in to the device as is done when 
using the terminal window. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Jagannath
