My experience has been that minicom is the best emulator for interfacing with serial devices. I have tried as many as I could get my hands on, too, FWIW ($DAYJOB = noc monkey). IME, If you ever have a large config you need to drop on a device (or even not-so-large) most others fail in various ways. 5 AM at the collo with a dead core router is a lousy time to find out that your *com of choice requires dropping 20 lines at a time or it starts barfing, and you have a 2000 line config that needs dropping. JME - others may disagree. On 03/31/2010 12:17 PM, Carlos Mennens wrote:

Otherwise, you can just use GNU screen ("screen /dev/ttyUSB0", or gtkterm. I've used both of them with a USB to serial adapter and I could connect to Cisco switches without any problem.
I just installed gtkterm and it worked perfect. My only problem is I can't copy / paste from the program. Is there a way I can copy text to my clipboard and paste them in a test editor? This is super annoying when I am trying to take notes on things I am doing...
