[cisco-voip] OT: mac book terminal program

[james at atlanticmetro.net]

I concur with the keyspan. Also have used the belkin usb-"pda" adapter successfully.

For terminal apps, I use zterm.

In the past, (I haven't tried lately), the PL-2302 chipset dongles
(which are everywhere) drivers did not support sending the break
signal on Mac OSX. Kind of makes it hard for Cisco password recovery
on certain devices. Maybe they've fixed that by now otherwise they worked. 

I'll echo that Keyspan works 100% and is reliable. No problems there.
I have several Keyspan ones including a 4-porter.  

I like using kermit from the command line on Mac (or linux, or
solaris, or, etc. etc. etc). Its the same everywhere, supports lots of
different transfer protocols (if you actually need to fallback to
doing a file transfer over serial), etc.
