Use putty?I just got to use a serial port and a terminal program yesterday on a piece of equipment here. My newer W7 laptop doesn't have a serial port. They bought me a serial USB device. It starts on COMM6! My terminal program ends at COMM4. Splendid. I pulled out my older XP laptop with a built-in serial port and that was a thing of beauty. The kids had no idea how to set up a terminal program, baud rate, 8-none-and 1, etc... their eyes were glazed over.:drool:
