As an alternative to minicom, 'screen' also makes a useful serial

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.
Huh. I tried it on an FC5 box just now and it worked. Must be
different builds of 'screen'.
