ANSI2 Communications Protocol

I am trying to use Mac OS X (with a keyspan adapter) to talk to and program a scrolling LED sign.

Basically, I need to be able to send simple commands to the sign using their formatting protocols, using a terminal application of some kind.

The settings need to be: 9600 baud, 8 stop bits, parity=none, stop bit = 1

HOWEVER, the sign will only accept data in what the manufaturere refers to as the ANSI2 format.

How can I accomplish this in OSX? Is there a terminal emulator app out there, or can I do it with the OSX terminal?

Please, PLEASE help.
