Obviously you've gotten it to work, but *far* ((far) did I mention far?)
better is Tera Term http://www.ayera.com/teraterm/ It's *much* more
configurable and controllable. Hterm is fine for talking with 'known
working' hosts. But at the hardware level, testing, debugging,
experimenting, LEARNING and such, TTerm blows Hterm away like dust.

Have a :) day!
