Hi,
I have an external device that sends data through a serial port. We
used to check the communication on a windows machine by using a hyper
terminal connection- COM. Now I have shifted that PC to Kubuntu, and
need to establish a similar serial port communication. Any pointers
would be useful.
Thanks in advance
Vivek

If you used Hyperterminal in Windows, you can probably use Minicom.

Kermit is the *best*, historically. The licenses for it are a bit odd, but its
terminal emulation is good, its flexibility and documentation is very
complete, and it gives great error messages.

Other than that, minicom is very lightweight but takes time to set up at first.
