On OS X 10.9 and 10.11 I've had pretty good results from a terminal emulator called
Zoc from Em-Tec <https://www.emtec.com/zoc/index.html> It's a guy in Germany
and he has a couple products, but I think ZOC is his main thing. It runs on both Windows
and OS X. It's not free ($79.99) but, for me it was better than anything else. I
tried the current Ericon products for the Mac, and they aren't free either and are a
considerable bit more expensive and WAY slower. ZOC is pretty fast. I also used
ITerm/iTerm2 but neither of them could do serial ports. ZOC can talk to systems using
many protocols, serial included.
The author is good at communication and willing to discuss problems and fixes. I talked
to him initially about some of the keyboard mapping and he was very good about it.
For Linux I've always heard use xterm (Mac, too but I didn't want to run X windows
if I didn't have to).
