Hyperterminal is on your machine, try it, THEN make a decision.

Need plain async terminal program

 

Hi folks,

 

I need a plain and simple terminal emulator program for use with XP. I need to be able to

type a few characters, and have them go out a com port, and whatever comes back from the

connected device appear on the screen. I don't know if the device will echo or not. I

don't want any modem or host protocols built into it, just plain vanilla. Can Hyperterminal

be configured that way? Is there another terminal emulator I should use? Thanks.

I don't know too much about terminal emulators but you might look at this:
