Stepper motor control via usb port

[Alan Bromborsky <brombo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to run a stepper motor controller via the usb port.  The
controller I would evaluate has a usb connection and the following
description for sending a text string to the controller for programming
the stepper motor.

"Measuring only 2" inches (50mm) dameter,  the fully intelligent stepper
motor controller + drivers are designed to be bolted onto the back of
the stepper motors that they control. A single 4 wire bus, containing 2
power wires and two communications wires, links up to 16 such stepper
motor controllers in a daisy chain. Commands can be issued from any
serial terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) or from the EZ Stepper
Windows application <http://www.allmotion.com/Windows%20App/EZStepper.exe>.

The Commands <http://www.allmotion.com/Command_Set.pdf> are intuitive
and simple. For example the command *A10000* will move the stepper motor
to *A*bsolute position *10000*. (This communications protocol is
compatible with devices that use the Cavro DT or OEM protocol. )."


Is there a program or library in Linux equivalent to Hyper Terminal that
will allow me to use the usb port to send the text strings to the
stepper controller?
