[ltp] Linux replacement for Hyperterminal

[Frank Roberts - SOTL]

Hi All:

Does anyone know of a replacement to MS Hyproterminal with a GUI interface 
similar to "X terminal for use with KDE" Konsole 1.1.3.

The objective is to transfer files from and to several different types of 
highly suffocated custom process controllers which utilize non MS and non 
Unix (including Linux) operating systems. 

One such set of devices - and the most complicated - is manufactured by 
Sweitzer Engineer Lab: http://www.selinc.com/.

The normal means of making these transfers is by Hyperterminal. 
It is possible to also make these transfers by network if the relay is 
networked. Networking the relays is currently not feasible in most locations 
thus this method is for all practical purposes a futures feature.

It has been suggested that Minicom could be used for this. Personally I find 
Minicom difficult to setup for these transfers with an archaic GUI interface 
thus a more modern approach is being sought. 

Thanks
Frank
