However on PC-2 when I used the Linux (Xandros) partition on PC-2, in
test cases 3 and 4 and 5, I used Minicom.

Minicom is, unfortunately, also crap... it's far too complicated, far too slow
(there are hard-coded pauses in the menu system, for heavens' sake!) and
requires a lot of tedious reconfiguration to stop is spewing garbage down the
serial line on startup and shutdown.

Check out cu. It's an incredibly simple serial terminal from the UUCP days. It
does exactly what you tell it, when you tell it to, and otherwise gets out of
your way --- exactly what's useful in this sort of situation...


Thanks, will take a look-see at cu!
