I don't know if you'll still see my name in the files that ship with
it, or not.  I know that Wes Peters did a FreeBSD port a while back
(despite FreeBSD's bizarre idea of control devices for what should
be flags fields, and the seperation of modem control and non-modemcontrol
from CTS/RTS processing).

It is bar none the best "CrossTalk-Like" program for UNIX systems;
it also happens to have been the first shrink-wrapped third party
(ie: non-UNIX-vendor) product for UNIX.

Of course, I'm a bit biased, having worked on it for several years in
my dim past...
