Re: Win95 as a terminal
You can also configure HyperTerminal to use the "Direct to COMx" devices.
This would make your Win95 a TTY device on the Linux box....
If you're going this route, though, download HyperTerminal Private Edition
3.0 (from Hilgraeve?, tucows, etc.) and use that instead of the stock HT
that came with Win95. ***Much*** better terminal (i.e. vt100) emulation.
(In the configuration, make sure to specify VT100 and not the default, "Auto
detect".)
Incidently, this newer version also supports TCP/IP connections, so you can
use it as a telnet app. (Which I do on days, like this one, that I'm forced
to use Win95....)
