Serial terminal program?

["Michael D. Crawford" <crawford@goingware.com>]

Is there a serial terminal program for Debian?  One that will talk out an
RS-232 port? I couldn't seem to find one searching in dselect or debian.org's
online package search.

I don't think gnome-terminal or the like can talk to a serial port.  Telnet
talks to the network.

I used to use tip on the old SunOS.  On Windows I use Hyperterminal.

I'll need it for powerpc, but if one is available for x86 there is likely to be 
one for powerpc too.

Thanks,

Mike
