You can send binary data with HyperTerminal but you need to put the data
that you want to send in a file first.

Using a Hex editor (UltraEdit for example) create a file containing the
binary data you want to send. Select "Transfer" then "Send text file" and
select your file. Yeah, I know it says "send TEXT file",  but try it.
HyperTerminal doesn't really seem to care what is in the file - it just
sends out the data. I use this method and it works for me. I'm sure there
are more elegant ways to do this, but I have found that this works - and
HyperTerminal is usually available wherever I happen to be.
