"Serial terminal" first of all means accessing native serial port of
the device, you need special cable for that, not shipped with any of
the latest ipaqs. You can try to find it somewhere, or hack your own:

(that wiki contains wealth of info, a must to read (but with a grain
of salt, as usual)).

Doing native serial and serial-over-usb are two very different things.
LAB could do the latter, but not necessary have to. Well, its author
was a great fan of usbchar, so that what might work. But not ask anyone
what it is - the fair answer would be that it no longer exists in this
part of the universe.
