I'd just like to say, as someone who was just "lurking", that this advice about minicom was great. I had been trying to redirect input from ttyS0 to a file using $ cat /dev/ttyS0 >> somefile and all I was getting was garbage. I was in the process of trying to figure out stty settings, when I saw the post of Michael Mansour and Joe Polk suggesting minicom.
I had posted my own question on this subject before in February, and Gene Yoo also suggested minicom, but I had forgotten about that, focusing on the "cat" solution Cameron Simpson had suggested. It looks like Gene has since switched to gtkterm (or maybe he uses both).
Minicom is great. If you've ever used Procomm (the old DOS version, not Procomm Plus for Windows), then using minicom will be a snap. The interface is similar.
i do use minicom, but for configuring cisco equipment, gtkterm was a nice gui version that i could use to connect to my laptop : ) ... especially when you have to cut and paste large amounts of screen shots or edit the files. i just use whatever simple tool for my job : ) ...
