Connection
After installing the appropriate USB to Serial Driver, plug in your USB to Serial device and then check to see if it is properly recognized.
Open Terminal ~$ ls /dev/cu.* /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port /dev/cu.KeySerial1 /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem /dev/cu.USA19Hfa13P1.1
Look for something similar to USB, Serial, or the name of your device. In the case above, the correct selection is
/dev/cu.USA19Hfa13P1.1
Start the connection with:
~$ screen /dev/cu.USA19Hfa13P1.1 9600 (screen device baudrate)

Disconnecting
If you disconnect by closing the terminal window, you'll need to unplug the USB to serial device and reconnect it as the hardware will still be dedicated to the old session.
