Twenty odd years ago I discovered gtkterm. You have to build it on
openSUSE as they dropped it years ago but a package is available in
Ubuntu.
Since I discovered gtkterm I have never bothered with any of the
others and I have used it as a terminal to Mainframes, SPARC
Enterprise systems, ARM, etc.
It's a clone of Windows hyperterminal, Configuration --> Port -- set
/dev/ttyUSB0, 8-N-1, 115200, save the configuration as default so you
don't have to do it again and off you go.
It also allows you to save everything to a file should you need to
look over it later.

Minicom should have been pensioned off decades ago.

I did the git and it isn't finding gkt3, which I do have installed. But
I'm sure I can work around this. At least the program has been touched
in the last century. Minicom looks like the old Z modem from the win95
days.
You can kind of see why a terminal emulator doesn't get much love these
days, given the death of serial ports.
I just built the git version.
slipstream:/home/lancelot/ftp/APR14/gtkterm # ldd src/gtkterm
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff1fc00000)
libgtk-3.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgtk-3.so.0 (0x00007ffc11ae0000)
libgdk-3.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgdk-3.so.0 (0x00007ffc11828000)
# rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libgtk-3.so.0.1000.7
libgtk-3-0-3.10.7-1.2.x86_64
have both gtk-2 and gtk-3 installed but it's using gtk-3.
It's up and running on 2 boxes.
Before gtkterm I used seyon, kermit and minicom but none have measured up.

Sid.
