Second that, use emacs. Basically you just need to teach emacs to
recognize the prompt. Most likely it will already work.

There are at least three ways to use emacs for this. The best would be
to run emacs on your local machine and then M-x serial-term or M-x
shell. ('M' stands for meta, usually means you can push the 'alt' key
together with a letter, but there are other ways if you have no alt key,
like on a serial connection) . Third way would be to run emacs in text
mode on the remote machine. If you have ssh running on the remote
machine, check out the "tramp" package in emacs.

With no gui, you would need to learn the old tty-commands in emacs, like
push <esc> followed by 'x' instead of using ALT-x, but it should all be
there.

Pro-tip: if running emacs on the remote machine, make sure your
terminal-connection does not interpret Control-S as a STOP signal, i.e.
anything to do with XON/XOFF you do NOT want enabled in your
shell-connection.
