http://cutecom.sourceforge.net/ Welcome to CuteCom
CuteCom is a graphical serial terminal, like minicom (or Hyperterminal on Windows,
but I don't want to compare CuteCom to it, since Hyperterminal is really
one of the worst applications I know).
Currently it runs on Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X.
It is aimed mainly at hardware developers or other people
who need a terminal to talk to their devices.
It is free software and distributed under the GNU General
Public License Version 2, which can find in the file COPYING.
It is written using the Qt library by Trolltech.

project page.
CuteCom doesn't use the autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool, etc.)
Instead "configure" is simply a wrapper script which calls qmake.
To uninstall CuteCom simply delete the file "cutecom" and the file
"cutecom.desktop" and you're done. The config file is ~/.config/CuteCom/CuteCom.conf (was ~/.qt/cutecomrc
in the Qt3-based versions).
