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

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.

Earl
