picocom also will let you connect to a serial port without reconfiguring it (--noinit) and will let you exit without restoring the serial port configuration (--noreset or use Ctrl-A/Ctrl-Q to quit picocom). I've found picocom to be much easier to use than minicom. For reasons I haven't figured out, minicom will sometime simply not send or receive data on a port that worked moments before or that picocom has no trouble with. It's probably some arcane configuration option, but whatever it is I can't figure it out (and this behavior has happened on more than one machine).

+1 for picocom! I found that I wasn't able to write commands to the serial device without the correct line endings: I needed to use --omap crcrlf --echo options
