personally, I'm using the 'picocom' program on Linux like this:

picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyS0

If your serial cable is a USB-to-serial one, the device would probably
be /dev/ttyUSB0 instead. Depending on your Linux distribution it might
also be necessary to add your username to a group which allows access to
the serial device or to run the program as super user.
