Minicom (a virtual clone of the old DOS Telix) or kermit can do
the job.  What's a GUI feel to do with a terminal program that's
basically emulating a glass tty?  About the only thing GUI about
a terminal emulation program are the menu choices to select
options, and its ability to emulate the terminal expected on the
router -- usually a fairly low-end DEC VT10x.
