Having installed the right driver for our USB-serial adapter, we also need to install some terminal emulation software before we can connect to anything. The following Mac OS X GUI applications are available:
If you're looking for a 'commands line' app, there's Screen (built-in) or Minicom.
If you can't find a driver for your adapter (eg, Belkin), try Serial which has built-in support for most (if not all) USB-Serial adapters.
If you have trouble installing any of the following (or any other program) with an 'unidentified developer' error, goto: System Preferences ➤ Secrity & Privacy ➤ General and click on 'Allow Applications Downloaded from: Anywhere' and try again. Otherwise, ctrl-click (or right-click) on the app and select Open from the pop-up menu so not to permanently lower your security settings...
SerialSerial is a great Terminal Emulation Program with built-in driver support for most common USB to serial devices. So, if you can't find an OS X driver for your adapter (eg, Belkin), give Serial a try - available from the Mac App Store.
Other features include full ANSI/VT100 terminal emulation, break-sequence support (for Cisco, etc), a line-buffered or immediate send mode, and much more. It also doesn't crash if you prematurely unplug the adapter! Serial is highly recommended!
ZTermZTerm is a well known terminal emulation program thats been around for years, updated for Intel Macs. It supports VT100 emulation, which means it sorta kinda works with Meridian Mail (Function keys on a MacBook: fn + f-key). Shareware.
To configure ZTerm, open Settings ➤ Modem Preferences and select your USB-Serial device as the default modem (Serial Port). Then edit your connection in Settings ➤ Connection. Remember to connect the USB-Serial cable before launching ZTerm. The following pictures explain the steps:

You can use screen, although Minicom (or a GUI program) offer more features and functionality. Drivers:
Most Serial-to-USB adapters will work on a Mac with one of the following OS X drivers...
UPDATE: Mavericks (10.9) includes a driver for FTDI-based Serial-to-USB adapters.
