This chap here is trying to do exactly what I want - but this is an archived post.
Any way I can get an email sent over to his address ?

Good luck,
That post is from Sept. 2005 over 2 years ago. Remember that the archived messages are actually from the old PlutoHome Forums. You can always check at www.plutohome.com and see. If you could ask a more specific question we can probably help you out.

Are wiki pages that deal with most of the questions in the previous forum post.
Hope this helps,

I thought that was pretty specfic :-)
to be honest i want to know if he got it working - i know linuxmce can do it - i just have run out of talent.
what i need is to fire off the characters 0-9 and # down the rs232 port - as soon as the character is pressed - the default security screen appears to only send a complete login string once all the numbers are entered.
