1 Minicom is also a program that works OK.
2 Another approach would be to run ppp over the serial line and make the windows log

6 But if that's not a matter of pure testing I'd say its a waste of time for
7 transfering files. You can make/get yourself a crossover cable and connect the
8 machines through their LAN Cards over Ethernet at speed near 100mbits/s. It's the
9 thing I would do.
