I have used picocom for the same thing:
 > apt-cache show picocom
Description: minimal dumb-terminal emulation program
  picocom was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem
  configuration, testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite
  well) as a low-tech "terminal-window" to allow operator intervention
  in PPP connection scripts (something like the ms-windows "open
  terminal window before / after dialing" feature). It could also prove
  useful in many other similar tasks. It is ideal for embedded systems
  since its memory footprint is minimal.

I don't remember if I had to create a device like /dev/ttyUSB0 or if 
Linux now creates on when the cable is plugged in.
I DID have to set the baud rate.
