Hi,

Hyperterminal (and Terminal) will echo back with a
bridge (short circuit) between pins 2 and 3 (either 9
pin or 25 pin connector). Hmm. On second thought, I am
going on memory so try it first. I find the metal tip
of a ball point pen convenient.

However, neither of these terminal programs will
display all the 0-255 8 bit codes. I rely on a program
called "ansiterm.exe" as it is very simple.

In "monitor" mode it will dislay "printable"
characters and the unprintable ones are shown in hex
individually encloded in double angle brackets. As a
sample here is   hello<CR><LF>123

hello<<0D>><<0A>>123

I think there would be a way to send those codes as
well using ansiterm as the function keys are
programmable but in a  technical rather than a "user
friendly" way.

I can email ansiterm.exe to you or put it on my home
page for download.
