I've found ZLink to be a nice match the terminal program which I use in
Linux... Which I seem to have forgotten the name of again! It isn't minicom
though.
Anyway, I am curious about this. I just realised I have completely forgotten
how to fully divert the streams to different places. If you feel like
telling me what I can find out again go for it.
I'm sure I found it on a Palm oriented page though. Lots of info on using a
palm as a serial terminal in Linux out there. It translates directly to
other things too. Worth a look.

Exactly! And how can we learn if we don't ask questions?

That's a Welcome from me too :)
