Serial port program wanted

[CWatters]

Can anyone recommend a program that I can use to do some serial port work?

I just need to config the port on my PC then send a few characters (inc ESC)
either from a file or by typing on kbd.

Don't worry. I've just found this one. Looks like it does exactly what I
need.

Since you don't give away your preferred OS, I assume you are talking
about some flavour of Window$. In this case HyperTerminal is the first
choice, since it comes with the OS.

In case you are using something like a half-decent OS (Linux comes to
mind), minicom seems to be prudent.

HTH,

Just about any terminal emulator package will do what you
describe. Look around for an old copy of Procomm Plus.

If you need something Windows-based, and you'd like Telnet
capability as well, try CRT from VanDyke Software.

I would add that a search on Google for "Windows Terminal
Emulator" (with the quotes) turns up over 4300 hits.

Happy hunting.

See what just 30 minutes with Google can do? ;-)

Actually I spent two hours yesterday looking for what I wanted and then
found it in 30 mins today (and yes it was using google).
