jpnevulator

This is the homepage of jpnevulator. What once started as a Jackpot Navigator emulator (hence the strange name) is now a nice serial sniffer and you can use it to send data on a serial line too. It's sort of like a very simple terminal emulator, like picocom. But jpnevulator uses hexadecimal byte values to display and send along the line. Very handy indeed if you are working a lot with serial protocols.

jpnevulator is released as Free Software under the GPL license. See the file COPYING in the source tarball for more information.

For your convenience you can find the manual page here. If after reading it you have a question, please next read the FAQ. It's kind of a pathetic FAQ file for now, but I bet your question is in it!

These are the (max. 10) most recent news items about the project:

28/07/2020-Release of version 2.3.6
Not much of an interesting release. A small potential buffer overflow and some spelling errors fixed. The FAQ updated and that is mainly it. A bit boring, but here it is: version 2.3.6.
Might be nice to add though that after a couple of decades after industry standards this software is also finally digitaly signed. It's about time! Kuddo's to Debian for nagging me about it.
