Is this a further discussion of your virtualization question? If it is,
let’s keep the discussion in one place.
Otherwise, let us know what resources you’ve looked at already.

A quick Google search on “serial programming linux” turned up this:

And if you want commands, the tool is “minicom”.

I just want you to understand that if you take a problem and post it in a
number of different places, you don’t increase the help you get, you
increase the fragmentation and duplication of effort to provide you with
help. If it’s the same issue, then please stick to the initial thread
and answer the outstanding questions that are in that thread.
If it’s a different issue, then of course, start a new discussion, but
provide some details, don’t just (essentially) say “teach me how to do
serial programming in Linux” - there are plenty of resources on the 'net
to do that (I pointed you at one on TLDP) that can be found with a simple
Google search.
We’re trying to help you, but you’re not making it easy to do so when you
don’t provide information that lets us help you. We’re not clairvoyant,
and we only know what you tell us about your needs. But knowing
specifics about the needs you have is a necessary step in providing you
with the appropriate help.
It’s also important that you let us know what you’ve done (and what
happened) to try to resolve your issue so we don’t suggest things you’ve
already done - or if there’s something that you did that can be tweaked a
bit, that advice can be given. But again, we can’t guess, and playing 20
questions to find out what your needs are just makes it take longer.
Years ago, I had someone (seriously) ask the following “question” on a
forum I participated in:
“my thing’s broke.”
Apart from the obvious off-colour answers, maybe you can imagine how
difficult it was to actually find out what was wrong, what the user’s
environment was, and what steps they’d taken to try to resolve it.
Don’t tell us “my thing’s broke” - give us details. Tell us what your
goals are, what you’ve tried, what happened, and about what your relevant
hardware/software configuration is. If you don’t know what we need to
know, ask - but don’t make it difficult for us to help you. 
Jim

I linked to a couple of the specific questions in another thread about
this same topic.
It’s an excellent essay that explains how to get help, what you need to
do in preparation, and how to understand why people answer questions in
online forums.

I use minicom for configuring switches. You can also use screen just as effectively.
Not sure what the question was really asking but thats the software I would suggest when interacting with serial.
