After you get the driver nailed down there is also a port of the nix term program, minicom:<br><br><a href="http://minicom.darwinports.com/">http://minicom.darwinports.com/</a><br><br>I use this daily and it works real well. <br>

</div>First you need a driver for the serial cable. Odds are it's got<br>
a Prolific PL-2302 chip in it in which case use the driver here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31" target="_blank">http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31</a><br>
<br>
This will create devices when you plug the cable in named:<br>
<br>
/dev/tty.usbserial<br>
/dev/cu.usbserial<br>
<br>
You may use screen(1) to attach:<br>
<br>
$ screen /dev/tty.usbserial<br>
<br>
Use ^A^\ to exit (control A, control backslash).<br>
