Zterm is great!
Gene did you find all control codes to operate minted on it? as shift + arrow keys dont work you need to press ctrl-x to backspace and ctrl-y to delete. also ctrlz pages down and an odd ctrl-| ( no i but the vertical bar) will page up!
hey aaron, why zterm doesnt send shift+arrows and ctrl+arrows keys?

Almost any serial to usb adaptor I have tried works well except the
pl2303's I have, they have a tendency to drop the first character of a
transfer. Not 100% of the time, but often enough the error logs when its
listening to my UPS will eventually fill my /var partition on a terrabyte
drive. But I'm partial to the FDTI versions, they Just Work(TM).
I currently have a 3 foot cable plugged into the bitbanger port, plugged
into the adaptor, which is plugged into a 7 port hub, and a 15 meter
amplified usb extension cable comes up here to be plugged into the
motherboard here. It all just works.
