Yes he will.  Most distributions of Linux come with a program called
Minitab.  It is similar to HyperTerminal.

Subject: dumb Linux terminal-router question


Next week I'm teaching basic router configuration to some high school 
students. One of the students has a notebook computer that runs Linux. 
Assuming there is a normal serial port on the notebook, will he able to 
easily run a terminal emulator to connect to the console port on the Cisco 
routers?

I know he'll be able to do Telnet once we have an initial config, but 
before we get to that point, can he config the routers in a similar fashion 
to the HyperTerminal the Windoze users will be using?

Thank-you very much for your help.

Priscilla
