wine users - Feb 2010 - USB to serial adapter with TeraTerm, speed issues

I installed TeraTerm today to use it with a Prolific USB to Serial Adapter. I
created a symlink in dosdevices (ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 com1) and started TeraTerm.
To my joy I got the output from my connected device, however, the speed is not
good. This goes both for output and input, but especially the keyboard input is
slow, and only works now and then.

Anyone got an idea about how I can attack this?

There are perfectly good native equivalents: try minicom or kermit.

I've used both with USB->serial adapters. 
Minicom is a little more straightforward to use and may be a standard
part of your distro. It deals with serial ports and, err, thats it.

Kermit is considerably more powerful and can be scripted. It can deal
with serial ports both interactively and for file transfers and is also
a telnet and ftp client. It must be obtained from

Thanks for the replies.

I normally use minicom, but on my current task I have to use ttl-scripts (the
tera term scripting language), and I haven't found a terminal in Linux that
handles those.
