Hyperterminal for Vista

Another reason why I hate vista..

Cant find hyperterminal. Where the hell has it disappeared ? Later found that Vista doesnt have hyperterminal with it, nor does it have a replacement/similar software which comes bundled, atleast not in my first and second look for such a thing. But good news is that there is a free personal version of the original hyperterminal still available for free download. You can find it here..

Update: There is no personal edition of hyper-terminal for free now.

I made best use of tera term recently and it works fine in Vista.

A good substitute for Hyperterminal is AbsoluteTelnet from Celestial Software. Not only does it support telnet and serial connections as hyperterminal did, but it also supports SSH, which is a better security choice. It has a tabbed interface, advanced security, and is translated into seven languages!
