The thing to look out for with either version is to be sure to turn the
hardware flow control off (unless your project intends to use hardware
flow control).  In HyperTerminal it's one of the settings  in the dialog
box that sets the baud rate, etc.  In 3.1 (and most likely the 3.1
Terminal running under 95 or NT) it's in the Control Panel.

It's also possible to bypass the hardware flow control by jumpering the
flow control lines on the plug that plugs into the PC.  For test purposes
it's easier to just set the software to not use it.

When it's set up properly, making a loopback by connecting the PC's
receive data to the PC's transmit data will let you see everything typed.
 If you see everything twice, turn the local echo off.
