CoolTerm for Mac ReviewExactly what I was looking for - Version: 1.0.0, 6/13/2009 09:08AM PST

I'm talking to hardware with a protocol that uses characters like 0x04 and 0x02 which be sent with any other terminal using keystrokes, and this app definitely beats having to create text files with these characters and sending them to hardware using Hyperterminal on the PC.
Also, being able to view responses from the target in Hex format is really helpful.

I have been looking for a serial capable terminal app ever since development on ZTerm ceased.

This would appear to be a worth while replacement, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
