I recently acquired a nice little USB serial modem, which I would like to use to call some dial-up BBSes (all two of them). Do you know the names of any Linux terminal software for this? Ideally, it would support the usual BBS terminal software stuff - ANSI, zmodem.

Minicom sounds perfect. I want to keep away from any of the internet technologies if at all possible, and keep this pure serial.
I see you're in beautiful Penticton. Was there for my honeymoon a couple of years ago, browsing in an awesome second hand bookshop, and riding lazily down a river in a tyre.
Canada is such a great country.
