I was going to ask if that's what he was doing but thought better of it. :-) > Can you use gnome- terminal or xterm to do that? No. There's minicom(1), though it's a clone of a DOS program, seyon(1), which uses an xterm is the ANSI-handling terminal, or cu(1), which as `call Unix' is really part of UUCP but is in its own package these days because it's handy even without the rest of UUCP. Again, it just runs at the command line so that will handle the ANSI. There are others, like cutecom, but I don't know about ANSI support for those.
