There are tons of apps out there for serial access, just google for 
"serial +linux" or so. This is especially hot in the embedded 
development. Myself, I use GNU screen to connect to my arm computer with 
a RS-232->USB converter since none of my computers have serial ports 
anymore. "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200" I'm sure the same applies for ttyS0.

Hope that helps,
