CuteCom!

CuteCom is a graphical serial terminal, like minicom (or Hyperterminal on Windows, but I don't want to compare CuteCom to it, since Hyperterminal is really one of the worst applications I know. Currently it runs on Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X. It is aimed mainly at hardware developers or other people who need a terminal to talk to their devices.

  • Zterm

  • ZTerm is a terminal emulation program for the Macintosh. In its day, many people used it to connect to Bulletin Board Systems and download files. Now we have the internet. Its still a useful utility for those systems that only offer dialup connections and for connecting to devices through a serial port, like many routers. For newer Macintoshs that dont have a normal serial port, ZTerm can talk to ports on USB to serial adapters, through the appropriate driver software supplied with the adapter.
