Holy Cow
How have I missed this app?! I have been needing this for the last 11 years of using a Mac and being in the IT business. I have always just ran parallels with Windows/Putty to access my firewalls and switches. I ahve the new M1 Mac and I couldn't get the USB to Serial adapter to work with Windows 11 ARM, so I check one more time for a Mac App and holy cow my mind was blown. This app worked perfectly. It saw the USB to Serial adapter and just worked! It is worth every penny! I will not delete parallels and save that yearly money. — Chapindad
Just Works
Works great unlike many other apps out there. My only knock is that it doesn't offer a trial or lite version. I was hesitant to buy at first but took a leap of faith and I wasn't disappointed.
It's also nice that the developers seem to stay on top of product updates. — spidey527
Best Serial APP
This is hands down the best serial applicaton I have used for the MAC. I am constantly needing Serial access to various Cisco and HP switches/routers etc. This app has not failed me once.
If I had any complaint it would be that the serial port for my Cisco 3560x over USB shows garabage for the name. But when selecting it it works perfect. I wish I could attach a screen shot here which would explain this better. — Kris.Armstrong
