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.
I tried it on a sid box, but just end up with screen showing a
shell on
the local host, i.e., the same as without those arguments.
I googled for the Mac OS X screen manpage thinking it must be
different,
but it's identical to the one on my linux box. Any other hints on how
that works or where/how it's documented?
I learned about it here:

You're right that it doesn't seem to be documented in the manpage.
How odd. Maybe it's a compile-time option or something.
