No need to shell out for Keyspan's admittedly very good drivers. Prolific's own Mac OS X driver is currently not very good; you can't send a break signal via screen in Terminal, for example.
However, there's an open-source driver that works better. Use 'screen' as a serial terminal emulator Authored by: wallybear on Nov 14, '06 AM. You can also use C-Kermit 8.

Re: Use 'screen' I've been using screen for years and always found ttys just.. So I tried. Haven't seen a well written thing like this for a while. Chrisk K, Your app doesn't work.

KeySerial1" set number of rows of window 1 to set number of columns of window 1 to 80 set background color of window 1 to "black" set normal text color of window 1 to "green" set custom title of window 1 to "SerialOut" end tell Compile and save as an app from within Script Editor, and you have a double-clickable application to launch a serial Terminal session.

The arrow keys and return key generate garbage. If there's a setting on screen to fix that, please let me know. I love screen but: how do you get it to translate lf into crlf? RandomInsano RandomInsano 4 4 silver badges 5 5 bronze badges.
Perhaps the default install of the program is misconfigured? The permissions should be on the device, not the program. I've been pretty lazy researching permissions to be honest.
Does cu cause permissions problems then? A fun issue with this that I hit this weekend is that if you require different line feed settings, you'll have to learn the stty commands to set your console. I've had success with cu on other platforms, and I can use screen successfully on mac. But when I try cu on my mac, I can only receive the data; transmitting data doesn't work. Ever deal with this?

The meta key is Esc. So Esc-Q to quit, Esc-O for options, etc. I found minicom and Serial. Most other apps crash or lose the connection and cannot reconnect until relaunch. I never understood the "send in HEX" use-case. Can you please enlighten me?

I second Agos' comment. He's not "diminishing" your answer, just saying that he thinks that ZOC is not a good solution considering everything cost, features, etc — cyphunk. Also, combined with the other answers above, it seems from the quoted description like the only difference between ZOC and Terminal is tab thumbnails and the price.
C-Kermit is alive and well in Brew, and can be installed with: brew install c-kermit Naturally you would require Brew to be installed first.

The first step is to get an RS serial port on your Mac, which hasn't been built-in for a long, long time. You probably want a USB to serial converter, of which there are a variety. Given variability in driver quality and compatibility, you may want to try a few models and driver implementation. For instance, two common chips include the FTDI series official driver here and the Prolific PL chipset open source driver here , closed source driver here.
Of the two, I found the open source PL driver to be slow and observed occasional data corruption I did not try the closed source driver but heard worse things.
I have found FTDI devices to perform more consistently. Starting with Drivers for other converters may also be present, but I have not used them. If not, you will have to alter the expected device ID in the driver configuration.
If you encounter strange issues of any kind with the built-in driver, try the official FTDI driver as well. Supposedly, the driver priority of the built-in driver is set so that installing the official driver will override it without causing any conflicts, however I have not conclusively verified this. For an example of how to alter the device ID or disable the built-in driver follow just step 1 , see this blog post.
In the process of doing this myself, I learned a bit about the kernel extension of which these drivers are each an instance system in OS X. The basic idea is that each has a [drivername]. For an immediate load or unload, run kextload [path to. To see the list of currently installed extensions, run kextstat e.
After re-enabling a driver, the driver may not reload even after the next reboot because a separate cache of kernel extensions is kept to speed up enumeration on boot.
The next step is to test the serial port using some sort of terminal emulation program. I used goSerial , which happened to be the first one I found. It worked fine for my purposes, but better ones may exist.
