Hi all,

I have a laptop running Win XP Pro which has a serial port. I need to pass commands to another computer (embedded into a screen) that runs Linux which also has a serial port.

Does anyone know what sort of software I can use to do this? I just need a shell of some sort to type over.

Thanks very much,
Ben

You can use Hyperterminal on XP.

By default it's in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\
