Console from MACOSX
There are many serial terminal applications for MACOSX, two commonly used applications are 'picocom', and 'screen'. These examples demonstrate these applications and assume that the serial device is "/dev/tty.usbmodem00D069C0FFEE1". Be sure to replace the serial device string with that of the device on your workstation.
'picocom' is a very small and simple client.
picocom -b 115200 /dev/tty.usbmodem00D069C0FFEE1
'screen' is a terminal multiplexer which happens to have serial support.
screen /dev/tty.usbmodem00D069C0FFEE1 115200
