I sometimes use minicom, because it's generally available and can send BREAK,
but I usually wind up using screen, because then I can run it on my serial
console server, and connect to it from multiple places.
I also use rtty, but it isn't as useable because USB serial devices don't
number consistently.

Which board?
Are you using a board with an FTDI chip attached to a serial console?
Or one with a built-in USB?There is also the interaction with the
flashing process, which sometimes needsd the USB connection.
I'd like to convince the minicom and screen guys to do some kind of back-off
when the flasher asks.
(This is also kinda a call for dual TTY devices that showed up in SunOS
4,AIX,etc. back in the 1990s that let UUCP run well before we had mgetty.)
