The good news is that Serial comes with built-in support for most serial devices, so you do not have to manually install any driver. Various other tools are available, including the cross-platform (handles comm via direct serial connections). Serial is a basic terminal emulator that can help you connect and control serial devices, such as servers, network equipment like routers or modems, PBX systems, and so on.
