Subject: Program to "talk" to serial port?

I need a program that can talk to a serial port on the local computer,
the way Hyperterm does for Microsoft Windows.

I would like this program to present its user interface in an xterm.
If that is not possible, perhaps a program that is itself an X11
client would do.

I was able to compile "minicom" under cygwin.  However, when minicom
launches, it tries to access /dev/ttyS1, which is not provided by
cygwin.

Would someone suggest a program that is suitable, or a program that
might be portable to cygwin.  I am willing to do a bit of work on
this.

Thanks for any suggestions!
