Sloup will read/write from the serial port, you can interact with it using a
simple terminal emulator if you know the syntax - you don't need any special
tools.

I believe (and the documentation backs me up) that if you give Sloup an empty
entrySpec, it will dump all slots. So a command like this:

Names
{}
DUMP!

Should print every slot in every entry in the Names soup.

There's also a decent description of the slots in Names here:
