I use ckermit quite a lot, but only because I know of no free alternative.
I only use it for basic serial port operations, where I just want to talk to
a serially attached device with a minimum of fuss.  minicom is intolerable
for this purpose, and cu is inconvenient and requires installing the entire
uucp package.
