I've compiled this on Alpha & PowerPC, so you should be able to use it on a Mac 
running Linux.  I can test it on Motorola 68k and HP PA-RISC architectures, but 
I think I'm the only one on the list running those.

Playing around with it at home, I find it is much easer to manage for direct 
cable connections than minicom.  ./minicom -D/dev/ttyS0 will bring up a session 
on ttyS0 (assuming you have rights to read & write /dev/ttyS0).  No trouble at 
all reaching a login prompt on one of my headless boxes, which I was never able 
to get minicom to do.

So this should address Jacob's current problem, and I remember the subject of 
terminal emulators in Linux coming up on the list before.

Cheers,

James
