As an alternative to minicom, 'screen' also makes a useful serial
terminal program. At least on OS X, I often do something like this
to talk to routers and the like:
screen /dev/tty.usbserial 9600
"Ctrl-A Shift-K" will exit. "Ctrl-A i" will give you a nice little
display of what the serial control lines are doing.
I haven't tried it under Linux, but it should work the same. Of
course you'd substitute /dev/ttyS0 or whatever device you're using
for /dev/tty.usbserial.
It won't trigger nostalgia for Telix the way minicom does, though. ;)
