Can anyone recommend a program that I can use to do some serial port work?
I just need to config the port on my PC then send a few characters (inc ESC) either from a file or by typing on kbd.

Don't worry. I've just found this one. Looks like it does exactly what I need.

Since you don't give away your preferred OS, I assume you are talking about some flavour of Window$. In this case HyperTerminal is the first choice, since it comes with the OS.
In case you are using something like a half-decent OS (Linux comes to mind), minicom seems to be prudent.

Just about any terminal emulator package will do what you describe. Look around for an old copy of Procomm Plus.
If you need something Windows-based, and you'd like Telnet capability as well, try CRT from VanDyke Software.
I would add that a search on Google for "Windows Terminal Emulator" (with the quotes) turns up over 4300 hits.
Happy hunting.

Actually I spent two hours yesterday looking for what I wanted and then found it in 30 mins today (and yes it was using google).
