The device name is "Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port", you can use lsusb
to get its name. Then install gtkterm for communicating with it.
$ sudo apt-get install gtkterm
Now use syslog to get the device name of pl2303.
$ tail -f /var/log/syslog
...
... usb 3-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
...
So its device name is /dev/ttyUSB0. Now you can connect it with gtkterm:
$ sudo gtkterm -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 57600
