Well, it was quiet simple.
Currently I'm using GNU Screen for several reasons:
- its 'detach' feature;
- it can handle all tty devices such as serial tty;
- I can run emacs in one buffer and a shell in an other.
I was trying to get rid of GNU Screen in order to do all my tasks in
emacs, hence my question: try to open /dev/ttyS with emacs.
But I found emacs terminal emulation quiet bad, for example frequently
the '\n' character has no effect and all lines are echoed on the same
line. Also I loose some of bash key bindings.
Hope that answers to your question.
Not really. Maybe I misunderstand what you are doing. What is the
goal behind this task ?
Sorry to bother.
Xavier
