Board index » Windows Vista » Whatever became of HyperTerminal?

Windows Vista35
What is one supposed to do about running a terminal program in Vista since

it doesn't seem to be in Home Premium anywhere? No HyperTerminal that I can

find?



Any suggestions? I have to connect to some old systems and serial devices

occasionally.



TIA

Here's an updated version of the free one included in earlier Windows...

it's free for personal use.

I thought that Vista dropped support for serial connections. Without the

Routing and Remote Access service, what happens?

A misunderstanding I think. Otherwise why would they bother to include a

Phone and Modem Options applet in Vista's Control Panel?



Aside from that HyperTerminal can make TCP/IP and modem connections as well

as direct COM port connections.

Full PCI, Winmodems and especially soft-modems are still pretty popular.

The market for full discrete serial modems seems to have disappeared though.



Of course, but I suspect that COM connections will not work. I'll have a go

with my router, TV set-top box or even my multimeter to check it out some

time.
