Moni: A serial port monitor written in Tcl/Tk

Moni (who is moni ?) is a raw serial port terminal program written in plain Tcl running under Windows, Linux & Solaris.
It requires Tcl8.4 or later (enhanced serial support).

• Serial configuration including handshake options
• Sending of ASCII and hexadecimal charaters to the port
• Send the contents of a file with repetition
• Logging of all incoming data
• Manual setting and monitoring of handshake lines (since Moni 2.20)

Moni uses the fantastic BWidgets toolkit.
