Do you know that you can configure Tera Term for more than COM1-4? Just 
edit the teraterm.ini file and change the line "MaxComPort=4" to your 
preference. Tera Term may be freeware but it is very hard to beat. I 
have downloaded trialware terminals and I am amazed that they try to 
sell some of this stuff!
