What do you mean by 'equivalent'?

- A secure shell client? : Openssh is ported to IRIX and is available on recent application CD's, freeware, Nekoware and other software collections.
- A graphical secure shell client? : There is as far as i know no equivalent program which has a graphical interface resembling PuTTY

Hi,

Actually I should have been more precised

Currently I have a need to debug serial connection issues (so basically opening ttyd*, ttym*, or ttyf* ports).

I think you're searching the "cu" command.

'cu' is indeed my first choice as well: a serial terminal program from eoe.sw.uucp .It should be installed by default

Necron2600 has posted a binary of minicom : https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-994.html

Other than that, C-Kermit from http://www.kermitproject.org/current.html may be of use

Thanks very much for your support!

minicom is a very nice and intuitive tool and CKermit compiles seemlessly (I haven't tried it yet anyway...)
