Hi!

Does anyone know a live linux distro with programs for communication to
serial port and some sort of hyper-terminal equivalent?

BEst of regards

Every distro should be able to do this
Take a look at

Code:

minicom

Any Linux distro (live or otherwise) will provide access to your serial port:

Quote:

/dev/ttyS0

Many, many different programs allow you to access the serial port, including:

* Kermit (command line)
* minicom (command line)
* GtKTerm
* Komport
* Etc

Good luck!
