I recommend ckermit, which isn't a terminal emulator, just a
rock-solid serial comm program.  You can run it in any terminal
emulator you want (linux console, xterm, aterm, rxvt, urxvt,
gnome-terminal, kterm, screen, ...)

I prefer the Unix approach of one-function-one-program -- separating
the serial comms from the terminal emulation. But, if you want
something that's pointy-clicky-all-in-one, there's always putty:

A lot of people use minicom, but I find its UI utterly abhorrent.
