windows program to read papertape from reader through serial port

[Bill Degnan]

Hi - I read on teraterm's forum or something like it that teraterm is not
really equipped to receive an inbound papertape reader dump into an ascii
file.  What do those of you who have both windows and a tape reader use?
RealTerm?  If so, what settings?  I have been wresting with this for a
while...I am told my DSI NC 2400 needs hardware flow control
Thanks
