Anyone know of any scriptable asynchronous communication tools?
The closest so-far appears to be Kermit. It’s been around since CP/M, but apparently there’s still no centralised language reference and the syntax predates Perl.

So you’re just pushing ASCII over the wire? That’s such a simple scenario that you probably don’t even need a program for it. Reading and writing /dev/ttyS0 directly would be enough.
If any scriptable terminals aren’t sufficient, you should be able to write a little custom one in your preferred language.
Which scriptable terminal?
Kermit, as you mentioned. You could probably use expect as well. But like I said, if the connection is simple but the conversation complex, you might just write it all yourself and save the time you’ll spend fighting Kermit or whatever to get it to do what you want.
