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.
This is still insane. Visit
www.tucows.com and download the programs that
Windows should have come with in the first place, instead of the
brain-dead schlock you get with a stock install.
Or, if you want, I can send you a copy of ProcommPlus for DOS that works
under Windows. Its my old trusty friend. Easy to use, easy to configure,
solid.
