Windows Server - Technology

Thank you. I don't know why all of sudden window vista has do away with something that was easy to manage. Thanks for all your help

Sincerely,

Vanessa

I wonder if Microsoft are planning to charge for a new HyperTerminal option in the future!!

Top tip, thanks.  I have been a puTTY user for years for SSH and didnt know the current versions do serial too.

Excellet news.

No more Hyper-slow-term in Vista has become a bonus now.

Microsoft had to pay for the use of hyper terminal, and since so few people used it, it was no longer worth including with the OS.  

So Microsoft took out hyper terminal and increased license prices - makes sense.

This very old open source program was ported to windows NT many years ago and should still work in Vista. It has multiple terminal emulations and

protocols.

It is worth a try anyway. Note: I worked on Kermit

on the LISPMACHINE operating system about 20 years

ago to this day.

Even though it is an old application, the best part of it (and the reason why most of people is still using it) is it allows you to caputre your Cisco configuration into a file.  Can puTTY let you do this?

And may I ask how Microsoft knew that Hyperterminal is used by few people?

No one from Microsoft asked me, did they ask you?

Regardless, "few people use it" does not justify elimination of features. When you have >90% of the OS market 1% is a lot of people you are going to piss off. Count me in.

I had HyperTerminal on my Vista, sorta worked OK until I needed it this afternoon when it gave up. So I went to the shop I got this laptop from with Vista asking what could be done about it, only to be shown that the version of Hyperterminal was causing heaps of critical issues on this system. I was then told to download some patches (3 of them) before installing Hyperterminal again.

Does anyone have any idea where these patches are to be found, or indeed if I need them?

Thanks...

Cisco IOS configuration largely relies on Hyprtterminal for Windows users. Microsoft should better think twice when making such changes. I had to revert to Windows XP for this reason.

After some research, try the following:

If you have an old Windows XP installation, go to the system32 folder and copy the file named "hypertrm.dll". Go to Program Files/WindowsNT folder and copy "hypertrm.exe". Place the two files in the same location on your Windows Vista and run "hypertrm.exe".

Hope this worked for you.

hyperterminal for vista

Putty works just as fine. I can't understand why Microsoft decided to do away with hyperterminal.

Hyperterminal never showed history correctly.

(At least on the 3 windows machines I have had to use)

And you could not reliably past prebuild configs...

PuTTY has been able to write all console out put to log files for at least 5 years.

(And you can automate append/overwrite/renaming).

Of course my new laptop no longer has a serial port..

but maybe I can get this USB dongle to work...

You can simply use Microsoft Windows XP  hyper terminal in windows vista.
