Re: KEGS Fun -- ProTERM & Spectrum to Windows Command Line Console

In what I think is my final post on this topic, I've simplified greatly 
the method I use with KEGS when accessing the Windows 10 cygwin64 BASH 
shell from either ProTERM 3.1 or Spectrum. This provides both a login 
prompt and if successful, full access to the BASH shell on the host machine.

It requires both an installation of 'socat' and 'cygwin64' (plus BASH). 
On KEGS, your preferred serial port is set to remote IP '127.0.0.1' and 
port as being '7778'. The port number can be anything, but it is best to 
keep it as something other applications will not use.


Save the following command as a .bat file: (I call it 'startbash.bat')
*******************************************************************

socat.exe TCP4-LISTEN:7778,fork 
EXEC:"C\:\/cygwin64\/bin\/login.exe",pty,login,setsid,stderr


*******************************************************************

Note that is all one line.

Just run 'startbash.bat' (or just enter the line into the command prompt 
window) either before or after starting KEGS, and when you're done with 
it, just go to the command prompt window and hit ctrl-c to end it. I 
suppose you also could do this as a startup item and just keep it hidden.

Again, this is for Windows. For KEGS from MacOS just run socat as a 
daemon as Blake Patterson documented in order to access the bash shell 
from ProTERM 3.1 or Spectrum.
