microcom has it's own package at
https://github.com/Oliviers-OSS/microcom
nothing done for about three years
nice but very limited option switches

however there is also picocom found at
https://github.com/npat-efault/picocom
and compiles to a 23k single file with a lot more option switches
help is-
picocom v1.2
Usage is: picocom [options] <tty device>
Options are:
   --<b>aud <baudrate>
   --<f>low s (=soft) | h (=hard) | n (=none)
   --<p>arity o (=odd) | e (=even) | n (=none)
   --<d>atabits 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
   --<e>scape <char>
   --no<i>nit
   --no<r>eset
   --<s>end-cmd <command>
   --recei<v>e-cmd <command>
   --<h>elp
<?> indicates the equivalent short option.
Short options are prefixed by "-" instead of by "--".

maybe (is to me) of more use in todays world
and is still being maintained and updated.

regards
