It's not the only option, but perhaps the easiest to get working. I use cu quite a bit, a very lean option originally from the uucp system (aka tip on other systems), particular where running it under a scripted wrapper, e.g., with expect or Perl's Expect module. It's also possible to drive the serial port directly via terminal or shell, but maybe a bit tough to get the stty settings configured correctly, something that minicom does for you.
