I downloaded and installed ZTerm - a free-ish serial terminal program to use with my Prolific USB-to-serial cable. ZTerm can be downloaded here and Prolific USB-to-serial cable drivers can be downloaded here.
I also found this document on using the Mac's own Terminal application to connect to a serial device whiich works quite well. My device (once above drivers installed) turns up as '/dev/tty.usbserial'. I connect using:
screen /dev/tty.usbserial 9600
I work with Sun Microsystems servers and #. breaks to the ALOM, except I have a UK MacBook which has the £ above the 3 but am alt-3 gives me what I want!
