Hyper-Terminal Replacement

[Timothy A. Holmes]

Good Morning:

I am rapidly closing in on the total elimination of windows on my
laptop, I have just a few remaining programs that I need help with
finding proper Ubuntu replacements for. Right now, the most critical is
the Windows Hyperterm program.  I use it for talking via com port (via a
usb to com dongle) to my switches and UPS units.  I need to be able to
address the com port properly, and then send and receive in open
terminal. 

Any Suggestions?
