I've downloaded the newest and I I've used the one's that came with
Windows (95 - 2K). The problem I see a lot is lock ups. Sometimes it
works one moment then I make a change it it's locked up (serial access
only). I've gotten in the habit that if I make a change in Hyperterm
I save it, exit Hyperterm and restart. Others in my lab have similar
experiences. I prefer to use Tera Term (although I can only get
serial 1 - 4 which isn't much of a problem).
