    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/7.

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.
This application was programmed with C#, SerialPort class, and .NET framework 2.0 on VS2005.
