Would not be able to do my job without Serial!
I'm a network engineer and am one of the few Mac users on my team. Serial has been a lifesaver. No messing with drivers or kexts. Just plug in your console cable, it's detected by Serial and you're off to the races. Don't even need to worry about baud/rate settings! — eric.vanquill
Worth it
Serial seems expensive for an application that you might think would be simple to write and have plenty of alternatives. But if you have tried other terminal software, you know that this stuff must be exceptionally hard to get perfect. And when you *need* an application like this to work perfectly *right now*, with whatever device you throw at it, your time saved by not messing around with other options is probably worth a whole lot more. — Amos01
