For most tasks, I prefer a PC running a terminal emulator.

A classic is Pro-YAM from Omen Tech <http://www.omen.com/>.
It works well on old hardware, too. There is a shareware
version and a commercial version.
Some nifty features I use in a classic-computer vein are the
scripts, which allow me to quickly invoke the file-capture
from a command line, saving to unique filenames. This
is handy
when grabbing files from a device sans protocol.
Another is a BBS sort of mode, which allows you to "dial" the
PC from another device on the serial port, and perform uploads
and downloads driven from the non-PC device. This has obvious
advantages for dialing up a PC from a remote location, as well
as driving the PC from a machine across the room.
Everything is controllable and scriptable, exotic UARTs are
supported, it's been around forever, it's great.
