I would use minicom, which is quite easy to set up as a serial terminal and you can turn logging on and off. I used minicom today on my eeepc at our cattle yards to look at what was happening when our electronic weighing scales indicated to draft left or right - the dearly beloved vendors have updated the scales firmware and it no longer emits a single character "<" or ">" , so it won't drive our automatic drafting :-(
