       <connection parms> [-e escape_char] [-notencrypted] [-notauthenticated]
       [-bitrate (9600|19200|38400|57600|115200)] [-alerts

       microseconds] [-v] [-q]

DESCRIPTION
       The solterm program allows a user to make a remote serial connection
       over IPMI.  The requires that the remote system support IPMI 2.0 Serial
       Over LAN.

OPTIONS
       <connection parms>
              The parameters for the connection depend on the connection type.
              These are all described in openipmi_conparms (7)

       -e escape_char
              The character to use to escape, or exit, the program.  Entering
              this chatacter right after a newline is entered causes the
              program to go into command mode.  A single character after this
              performs a command.  The default escape character is "~" as
              shown below.  Suppported commands are:

              ~.     Terminate the program

              ~B     Send a serial BREAK over the connection

              ~F     Flush all buffers

              ~R     Assert the Ring Indicator (RI) line

              ~r     Deassert the Ring Indicator (RI) line

              ~D     Assert DCD and DSR lines

              ~d     Deassert DCD and DSR lines

              ~C     Pause the output using CTS

              ~c     Put CTS under BMC control

              ~?     Help on escape commands

              ~~     Enter the escape character twice to send it.

       -notencrypted
              Do not encrypt the SOL data going over the connection.

       -notauthenticated
              Do not do integrity checks on the SOL data going over the
              connection.

       -bitrate
              Set the bitrate to the given value.  The default is whatever the
              BMC has set it to.

       -alerts
              This specifies what to do if a alert that requires a callout
              occurs on the line.

              succeed
                     specifies that serial/modem alerts are to succeed while
                     SoL is active.

              deferred
                     specifies that serial/modem alerts are to be deferred for
                     the duration of the SoL session.

              fail   specifies that serial/modem alerts automatically fail
                     during the SoL session. This is the default.

       -holdoff
              Specifies that CTS, DTR, and DSR are to be deasserted at the
              start of the SoL session so that the configuration may be
              modifeid before the handshake is released.

       -v     Be more verbose.  Maybe specified multiple time for more output.

       -q     Be less verbose.  Maybe specified multiple time for less output.
