I used to use "seyon" to communicate with homebrew embedded
microcontroller-based widgets.  It also seemed archaic to me, so I wrote
the GPL'ed sgsterm, which is based on pieces ripped from gnome-terminal.  
Currently, it only has the features I needed, mainly ascii file send.  
But the C source is reasonably easy to hack and extend.
