| Dec 5, 2021 at 16:39 | comment | added | scruss | ckermit is back in Debian bullseye. If you can avoid building kermit, I'd recommend it. ISTR that the HP-48 uses a slightly different IR wavelength from IRDA, so reception/transmission may not be too reliable with an IRDA interface | |
| Dec 4, 2021 at 19:41 | comment | added | Stéphane Gourichon | Yes, IIRC IR on HP48 is 2400 bauds max, while serial is officially up to 9600 bauds. | |
| Dec 4, 2021 at 18:43 | comment | added | gidds | FWIW, this sort of thing is easy on a Mac, too: C-Kermit is available on Homebrew, and USB-to-serial adapters may be supported natively on macOS, or have drivers available. — Also, while IrDA may involve less configuration, it may need more in terms of drivers, and not go as fast as serial. | |

| Nov 29, 2020 at 12:52 | comment | added | Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen | @StéphaneGourichon Then the C-kermit maintainer should have a good case for having it reaccepted into Debian. | |
| Nov 29, 2020 at 12:50 | comment | added | Stéphane Gourichon | @ThorbjørnRavnAndersen good reference. kermitproject.org/ckupdates.html actually shows that C-Kermit maintainer has made a number of changes, including fixing many warnings (and explaining that code was clean in a sense, while being compatible with older systems). | |
| Sep 13, 2020 at 10:38 | comment | added | Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen | I tried to figure out why ckermit was removed, and my guess from looking at tracker.debian.org/pkg/ckermit is that it uses too old a version of libssl | |
| Sep 12, 2020 at 20:55 | comment | added | Stéphane Gourichon | @TomasBy I saw many USB-to-serial adapters, never worked with USB-to-IR adapters. Are they compatible with the IR used in HP48? That one is older than IrDA (see wikipedia page and reference HP 48 I/O Technical Interfacing Guide). Feel free to offer an additional answer, IR-oriented. | |
