gtkterm doesn't seem to be well updated/maintained upstream:

Have a look in Synaptic: Sections|Communication + (multiverse &
universe). You can also do a standard search there as well for 'serial';
you'll find gkermit, screen, etc., etc. I can't recommend one as I've
not used a serial port since the days of troubleshooting usarts, but as
Brian pointed out, there's quite a few there to try.

For a DOS program, you can run via DOSbox or DOSemu.
