With HyperTerminal, you get the ability to: • transfer text and commands to a remote computer; • receive information from a remote computer; • transfer data saved to the clipboard by using the command 'Paste to host' in the View menu; • exchange files with another machine; • reset your modem or issue configuration and diagnostic commands. Disadvantages of the program • If your goal is to use HyperTerminal on Win 7 or 10, you should remember that these OS versions support only the private edition of the solution. The private edition is not free if used commercially, so for commercial purposes you'll have to buy the app. • Although HyperTerminal can serve as a debug tool, the limited abilities of the app won’t let you achieve much success in controlling and debugging serial communications.
