Looking for Linux version of Tera or Hyper terminal.

I need a software that I can talk to using either RS232 port and/or USB port. Can anyone suggest which software to use and where to get it from?

The user guide of the device is using Windows based Tera Terminal softare

thanks

Nischal

there are a lot of terminal programs available for linux, I tend to use minicom, but there are probably hundreds of others out there.

remember Unix systems used to use serial terminals extensivly, so what's a limited-use special piece of software for windows is the ancient, almost forgotten common infrastructure for *nix
