I don't use Windows much, but I seem to recall noting that HyperTerminal's terminal emulation is very bad. I wish I had facts rather than anecdote at hand. But, not meaning to be glib, I'd suggest trying Putty or Tera Term instead. Both support serial connections (in addition to ssh and telnet) and I know that I've used them with success, though I've forgotten details. http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.62/htmldoc/Chapter4.html#config-serial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tera_Term -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
