Have you tried MS-Kermit for DOS?  It has excellent terminal emulation and 
the .exe file is 256K (you also need a couple of small .ini files) so 
would fit easily on a DOS boot disk.  C-Kermit for Linux is much larger 
but also has better terminal emulation than minicom.  Procomm Plus is also 
small and good.
