I know I can use the Terminal built in to ssh to devices, which is fine, but I have to be able to use my usb-serial port. I love the App Store products because you can use purchases on all your devices if there is a limit, I have not reached it. What do you Mac users use to configure devices I prefer the PuTTy or Tera Term approach where it will ask me if I want to open up a serial connection or an SSH connection. I have other expensive products, but they are licensed for other devices. No more having to kill the process to restart “Screen” at the command line if I want to change baud. Still Super: No more running “Screen” and looking up the device name to create a serial connection. It could be my device, but if the backspace/delete character and up/down arrow command recall is fixed, 5 stars all the way. Very small size (246 Kb only), only one Terminal. It can be used for communication with different devices such as modems, routers, embedded uC systems, GSM phones. I’m sure I haven’t located the correct key combination or something. Terminal is a simple serial port (COM) terminal emulation program.

I’m bringing to 4 stars because while I can restart a line by pressing 'Ctrl + C” I found since I am not a perfect typer, I could use the backspace/delete ability.

“The backspace key on my MAC is a delete key, and the delete key does not “yet” delete input with this app. Other powerful features include full terminal emulation so you can use screen-based programs including emacs, vi, or nano, or navigate the menus needed to configure network. In addition, this app allows you to view the Hex/ascii if you choose, which would be good if you’re doing serial programming. Built from scratch for OS X, Serial eliminates the need to search for and install drivers in order to work with most USB to serial adapters and other serial-port devices. Updated: Finally, a good app at a good price to control serial device connections with my MAC.
