Since I'm running linux, I use minicom for my seriel stuffs.

Since I don't have a working winderz machine here, and would consider it a 
virus infection if I obtained a machine with winderz installed, I can't 
make a valid comparison, but minicom works for what I do, which other than 
logging into the coco on its /t2 port, isn't much. I haven't dialed up to 
reach my ISP in many years.
