I usually use PySerial (pyserial.sourceforge.net) for serial
interfacing software. It's really easy to write a program to talk to
the serial port. I'll post an example if you'd like.
For simple debugging you can find a terminal emulator or just read and
write the serial port device file: Open two xterms. In one xterm,
run "cat < /dev/ttyS0" and in the other run "cat > /dev/ttyS0". The
first terminal will show serial output, and the second one will take
input from the keyboard and send it to the serial port. Default speed
is 9600 baud on the computers I've worked with.
