Sadly, neither worked. Since I do _alot_ of console based work on routers, this is a huge disappointment for me. So much of Linux has brought me so far away from Windows only to be stopped by this.
I'll spend some time on linux.org searching for linux apps before I hang up Linux for a few months waiting on an app, but my next step is to play around with VMWare and see if it will host my Windows Procomm Plus tools, which will work in a pinch. Minicom should have worked for you. Can you be more specific in what did not work. You can set up minicom to work with a direct serial line. I did this to configure my Ipaq. Make sure you run minicom with the -s
