Yet another way would be kermit. It has a scripting language designed
for chatting over serial ports which seems natural for this problem
and it also works over tcp connections. I used it long ago to
initialize modems periodically through a scripted chat, then moved
the modems to a terminal server and was able to continue to use
the same script by just changing the serial port connection to
a tcp address/port.
