Rumor has it that Fred Cisin (XenoSoft) may have
mentioned these words:
But how do I lobotomize that silly
"HYPER-TERMINAL" app in Windoze95 to
convince it that I do NOT want it to dial, wait for carriertone, etc.?
I've found the best way to force HyperTerminal to do this is tell it to
dial a stupid number like "876" and when it starts out to dial, just click
cancel. it knocks you back to the terminal screen, but leaves the
connection to the com port open.
Actually, the best way is to upgrade to a later version of HyperTerminal
Personal Edition (PE). It's a free upgrade for the brain-dead version
that ships with Win 95/98/NT and adds nice features like the above and
also telnet capability.
