Some users/startups in France are using minicom (coupled with Piklab for PIC programming) to interface with their wireless home automation devices from a master module. I, on the other hand, I'm using minicom for testing chips freshly manufactured before shipping them to the clients. This can be easily carried out by an automated test framework having inputs from perl scripts for verilog (perl modules, we have added to Fedora repositories :) ) and outputs VCD files for GTKWave coupled with TCL scripts.
