minicom works fine for me on the Mac. This is a Unix program, but  
apparently someone's written up a HOWTO about how to compile it for  
Windows as well, using Cygwin (don't be confused by the commercial  
programs of the same name!):

Does anyone know of a good serial port monitor program? Hyperterminal seems to be problematic.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Do you know that you can configure Tera Term for more than COM1-4? Just 
edit the teraterm.ini file and change the line "MaxComPort=4" to your 
preference. Tera Term may be freeware but it is very hard to beat. I 
have downloaded trialware terminals and I am amazed that they try to 
sell some of this stuff!
