[sclug] Serial terminal emulator wanted

[Martin Summers]

Hello,

I have never tried this tool, but you could take a look at PowerTerm:-

http://freshmeat.net/projects/powerterm

Its difficult to recommend an alternative to minicom, as I am not sure which features you really don't like in minicom, (all of it ?) and which features you need and would like implemented better ! 
Are you trying to do something very specific over a serial port ? 

If Powerterm is no good, have a look on the freshmeat site above under projects tagged "terminals" as there are a lot out there !

Does anyone know where I can find a serial terminal emulator for Linux that isn't utterly shite? By which I mean, of course, something other than Minicom.

The only alternatives I can find in Debian are:

- - kermit, which is nigh-incomprehensible;

- - gtkterm, which is reasonably good but is X only.

Can anyone suggest any tools?
