I like ProComm better.  I dunno what kind of black mail Hilgraeve 
has on Gates to get them to continue to ship that piece of junk.  I deal 
with a number of serial products, and some of the customers try to use 
HyperDoodoo, er, HyperTerm.  I tell them we don't support HyperTerm, and 
there are a number of payware and shareware options that are far 
superior.  I've done dozens of installs of NT4 and Win2K (all we use in 
the Windows line), and make damned sure that malware isn't loaded.  
During the first 6 or so months of our products, before banning 
HyperDoodoo, I probably wasted over 100 hours of my time to tech support 
with customers because of the problems it has.  I've seen high school 
freshmen write better code than HyperTerm.
