Hyperterminal replacement needed

Hyperterminal replacement needed.

I need to send control codes via dialup.
XP Hyperterminal works but lacks a lot.
A google search found that some people like Putty.
Any suggestions? For Win 7/32 and XP machines.

I don't recall any control codes limitation with HyperTerminal? Although
I really liked Telix. It is a DOS program and meant mostly for BBS on
dialup. I have no idea if it runs under the modern day Windows or not.

Wow! I think this is it.

Telix for DOS

Wow, Telix was used on the Mir Space Station.

Putty or TeraTerm.

I'd like to add RealTerm to the mix.

http://realterm.sourceforge.net/

This has a bazillion features, of which I've used only a few.

It should have what you need.

Why not use telnet.exe? After all, Hyperterminal is nothing but a GUI
front end to a Telnet client. telnet.net is a console-mode program (aka
DOS-mode program). Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and run telnet.exe.
Then enter the telnet commands you want to issue.

To get help on the command-line syntax to start telnet.exe, run:

telnet.exe /?

After starting telnet and to get its help, at its command prompt enter:

help

or

?

For help on individual commands, run:

<cmd> ?

Enter q to quit (exit). I haven't used it for a long time (except to
test SMTP and NNTP servers to see they will accept a connection) so I
don't know if it permits inputting non-ASCII7 characters or control code
characters within that range. I figure if you are into sending control
codes then you already know the telnet command set, so it shouldn't take
too long for you to figure out if Microsoft's console-mode telnet.exe is
missing commands that you need to use. I've seen other telnet programs
that had more commands but some of them are damn old and don't seem to
apply anymore.

I don't see command-line switches for specifying just a dial-up
connection. You would establish the network connection using whatever
protocol you wanted and then run telnet to specify the IP address of the
host to which you want to connect.

I don't know if "telnet" to you also include TN3270 and TN5250
protocols. Those are where you are sending formatted data streams via
telnet to a mainframe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TN3270#Telnet_3270
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tn5250#Telnet_5250

You didn't mention to what you are connecting, only a client on your
end. I remember using Reflection X (back then I think it was WRQ
Reflection), Hummingbird, and Rhumba to connect to mainframes over
telnet using TN3270/5250 and xterm.

You can find a list of terminal emulators at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terminal_emulators

Putty is one of those listed except I don't see TN3270/5250 listed as
supported at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuTTY. Might help if you
explained what "control codes" you mean. Maybe they're the simple ones
listed under ASCII7, or maybe they are a sequence of characters for
TN3270.

I used putty, when connecting my Windows machine
to the Linux box at 38.4K serially. It worked OK.
I think only scrollback was a bit screwy. I needed
the serial port, so I could debug the Linux box
without walking over to it.

Thank you all for your replies.
I should have mentioned that the program needs
to incorporate a phone dialer and a way to keep multiple
files, each with its different phone number that show
results of the dialup and testing similar to hyperterm.

I tried an old copy of Telix (it was a great program in
its time) but it won't run on the laptop.
I use telnet when I am onsite and can connect via rs-232 cable
or cat5 but neither telnet nor Putty nor Teraterm have dialers.
While its possible to use a separate dialer or dial via
dos command line and dump the results into files, its more than
I want to do.
Hilgrave makes a pro version of Hyperterm but for the
few times a year that I connect via dialup its not
worth the cost.

Teraterm includes a sample modem-dialing script "dialup.ttl" which you
can copy or edit to do your multiple connections, at least in newer
versions from http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/

Can't you just type

ATDT <number>

into whatever terminal emulator you're using? I'm assuming your MoDem is
either serial or imitation-serial. Or is that what you mean by the "dos
command line" you don't want to do? From what I remember, MoDems switch
from command mode to straight-through when they connect, without you
having to do anything.

PuTTY is good, works well over serial or SSH.

I love Zoc - been using it since is OS/2 days. Highly configurable,
macro recording & playback, REXX scripting, file transfers

http://www.emtec.com/zoc/index.html

Not free but if you're doing a lot of connecting via
TTY/SSH it's the best I've seen over many a year.
