I've used netcat -f /dev/ttyUSB0 as a terminal, the netcat help points out you need to use stty first to set up the terminal: Use "stty 115200 -F /dev/ttyS0 && stty raw -echo -ctlecho" with netcat -f to connect to a serial port. On my todo list is gluing the two of those together into a nanoterm but I need to cleanup and promote stty first and that command is... complicated. Um, correction. Looks like I need to implement it. (Not in pending. might be in ashwini's patch pile...)
