Hi,

I'm using START. Is a SIMPLE and "naked" terminal. You just invoque it as:

        START <COM PORT NUMBER> <BAUD RATE>
        Ej: START 2 9600

I use it for simple communications using the serial port. Has no other
feature except echo-on/off :-)

The good thing is that this just sizes 14.370 bytes. Works in any old PC.

Anyone interested just send me a message directly.
