Do you want a terminal or a monitor? I use Sermon (hhdssoftware.com serial port monitor) and it is great, but it does cost ~$60 for the basic version. I use Tera term for my terminal. It is old free-ware but works very well on Com1-4. You can get a free 30 day trial of sermon which was enough for me to debug protocol. But I bought it anyway since it worked so well.
Hyperterm is an amazing embarrassment; it is so bad! Why they keep shipping that with windows is beyond me.

monitor
Does anyone
know of a good serial port monitor program? Hyperterminal seems to be
problematic.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
