Putty or Tera Term VT alternative for OS X

Question

I am currently using putty and Tera Term VT for connecting to external devices over serial port for bugging. Is there any alternative for OS X?

MAC is a commonly used networking term, short for "Media Access Control". Perhaps you mean "Mac"?

The best aqua app I've seen is CoolTerm. You can also do it with minicom or screen.

I'm not familiar with serial ports, but you should be able use the built in Terminal app which is provided by Apple (search for it with spotlight).

It's a very good terminal client, my personal favourite by far on any platform.

You need to use the screen command inside Terminal, but beyond that I'm not sure how it's used.
