Re: Something like HyperTerminal

[Jeff DeMaagd <jeffdemaagd yahoo com>]

I do not know of a GUI serial terminal app, but the
suggested combination of a terminal program plus
minicom (or is it miniterm?) works great with me.  One
of my boards do not seem to work properly unless I
turn it on after I start minicom, I guess it confuses
the board's strange autobaud sensing.

I did not touch kermit as it has a strange
constrictive source licencing, I could not compile it,
among other headaches.

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.
