Minicom is a serial communication program. It is a Unix clone of the well-known MS-DOS Telix program. It has ANSI color, a dialing directory, dial-a-list, and a scripting language.
Its handy to some times use the serial port on the Xenserver box.
To install minicom run
yum –enablerepo=base install minicom
and then run minicom -s (for setup and setup your serial port)
