>I like using a more flexible PC comms program than hyperterminal, >like this one: http://bray.velenje.cx/avr/terminal Actually when I got fed up with hyperterminal (which did not take long) I grabbed a Win3.1 system and copied Terminal.exe and terminal.hlp over, and it runs fine on a Win2k system. Not tried it on an exotic com port number, or USB port, but it works OK on Com1 or 2. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
