I've used so many terminal programs over the years, but I can't remember the names. HyperTerminal is fine for most little things, but I've run into something it's useless for. I need a (much) bigger screen/window than HyperTerminal will give me. What's a real good Windoze terminal program that can do that?
Of course there are tons of comm programs around about the net but Brey terminal is one that I found to have the most features and controls. You can adjust the send and receive box sizes somewhat, but not sure of your requirements. I'll try and attach a zip file of it here.
Much of my life is spent in terminal windows--it's my main work environment. Under Windows, so far the best and most capable (and most likely to do the right thing by default) is PuTTY. There is also a suite of useful networking and security tools at that link. And it's free (as in beer).

A good terminal program for MCU applications should have the ability to display the serial data in packets of certain bit length, in hex, binary and/or ASCII as well.

hi,
I have written a VB5 program to do just that.
Its used primarily for PIC serial comms.
If anyone would like an *.exe file, just say and I will tidy it up before posting.
They will require the Visual Basic runtime files from the web, free.
For my own amusement I'm writing a hex editor/sector editor for 18F4620 and SD cards. Can't imagine what practical use it'll be, but it's where I'm starting. Need a display for one sector at a time, so 115200 baud async serial it is. Having a keyboard is handy too.
I use Tera Term Pro, I could never get Hyperterm to work with my setup (Probably because I didn't hook up the CTS line, anyone know if Hyperterm explicitly waits for CTS?) Anyways, yep, ease up setup is a big factor for Tera Term, you just start it up, pick a COM port and voom, off you go.

I'm pretty sure not. I've never set anything on Hyperterm except baud rate and 8/N/1 and it always works. I only ever use RX and TX lines to comm with it.

Tera Term Pro only does the VT's, so I'm relearning VT100 escape codes. Been a long time since I looked at any of that stuff. Needed arrow keys, so I did some googling last night to get them working ($1b $5b $XX).
