Is there anything like Hyperterminal on Linux?
I'm testing my microcontroller based interfaces and want to check the data. It's all working fine with the comport object, but it's just for testing purposes....

You actually were able to use Hyperterminal to debug serial protocols on a Microsoft development platform? Ouch, does that thing even have a hex display? Last time I tried it, it didn't even have an option to display control characters.
If I'm on a machine running Microsoft Windoes , I find it easier to run Procomm in a DOS box. Much more powerfull and you get scripting too. I've also run across a couple of shareware or demoware Microsoft Windowsprograms that are more geared towards engineering purposes - the log is time-stamped for example.
Sorry I can't answer your actual question - I can only hope of course that there are much better things available on Linux (like "ask" for example?)
