Testing Your Connection
"HyperTerminal is no longer included with Windows. You can usually find a free downloadable version on the Internet. For more information, see What-happened-to-HyperTerminal. Alternatively, in Windows 7, you can turn on the Telnet Client feature. For more information, see Install Telnet Client."
