    HypoTerminal

HypoTerminal is the simplest terminal software to communicate through COM port.

Though HyperTerminal is enough(?) for most users,

1.  It only sends one byte/packet when used with the virtual COM port.
2.  It is not included in Windows Vista.

There are many other free terminal softwares (e.g. TeraTerm, putty, ...). They are really good, but are a bit hard to configure for beginners. This one may be useful for quick connection. Please use it freely.
