I have a microcontroller with an uart interface.
I want to communicate with my computer through the serial port

Is it somehow possible to connect the serial io to a xterm?
Case it is not: I don't want to write a program myself -
is there an existing program handling the io?

kermit (ports/comms/kermit) is probably the most widely used terminal program, and it has more features and communications protocols than you'd ever need (including scriptability). cu has already been mentioned, tip is similar, and minicom is another one, imitating DOS-style terminal emulators (telix, telemate), although it's a bit inflexible.
