Any "terminal type" application (xterm, rxvt, gnome-terminal, kvt, ...)
plus something which talks to a serial port will do.  I tend to use
kermit in such circumstances as it is not trying to do too much and is
easy to configure in many different ways (www.kermit.org).
'miniterm' is probably somewhere in your distribution.  Stay away
from 'seyon' if you have minimal securiry requirements.  There is
a reason why distributions in general droped it.
