There are perfectly good native equivalents: try minicom or kermit.
I've used both with USB->serial adapters.
Minicom is a little more straightforward to use and may be a standard
part of your distro. It deals with serial ports and, err, thats it.
Kermit is considerably more powerful and can be scripted. It can deal
with serial ports both interactively and for file transfers and is also
a telnet and ftp client. It must be obtained from
