Linux Mint terminal window to USB
I want to open a terminal window on my Linux Mint desktop machine and have it take all of it's input (all text) from the USB port and send all of it's output (again all text) back to the same USB port.
I have put together the necessary hardware to get ASCII characters to and from the USB port using a bluetooth link from a netbook PC in another room.
I have sussed the PC end USB to Bluetooth signal. When inserted the PC detects new hardware and I have the FTDI driver file on the PC which installs itself and allows me to talk through the USB to the Bluetooth RF nodule via a TeraTerm serial comms terminal emulator.
When I plug the USB to Bluetooth hardware into the Linux machine it doesn't detect it, I don't know if it should or whether I need any specific drivers to be installed.
What do I need to get the final connectivity between the Linux Terminal window and the USB port, in both directions, up and running?
