I've recently become a fan of serproxy.  Serproxy is a daemon that acts
as a telnet proxy from a TCP port to a serial port on a linux box.  This
abstracts the serial port on my lab linux machine to be a network device
that I can connect to from anyplace.  It opens up a lot of nice
possibilities and I don't have to deal with the indignities of minicom.
