If you have purchased Dell PowerConnect switches you have found the need for a serial interface on your computer plus a hyperterminal capable of VT100 emulation. I was unable to get the working via Putty but was more interested in the whereabouts of hyperterminal in Windows 7. This once, included, free, utility came with Windows. That was pre-vista days though. Luckily, like most programs, XP versions run fine on Windows7. So just pull Windows hyperterminal from an XP machine download it here!
Happy, free, VT100 emulation.

Thanks – really appreciate this. Using a serial port (9pin)to usb) then find out neither my Vista nor Win 7 machine has HyperTerm. Plus – I had Putty – but couldn’t figure it out.
Thanks for teh help

Thanks, very grateful. It helped me to get the Heath kit PC oscilloscope to work on my Windows 7, 64 bit computer. This scope is 26 years old.
