Actually, you are the one that stated you wished to avoid minicom:

<quote>
You may well have to indeed. Gtkterm is the only "hyperterminal"
equivalent I found on Linux. The other terminal program everybody
repeatedly suggests me is "minicom", but it's a major PITA to use, as
it's meant to emulate a "real" terminal, so it's way to complex and
overkill, and not as practical as gtkterm, for the needs of debugging an
embedded system.

I see nothing from Kipton mentioning avoiding minicom... or did I miss
something?
