Using HyperTerminal

You can use HyperTerminal with a modem to connect two computers so you can send and receive files or connect to computer bulletin boards and other information programs. For example, you can use HyperTerminal to connect to an online service and to download files from a bulletin board on the online service. You can also use HyperTerminal to connect a computer directly to another computer, such as a debugging terminal.

The easiest way to install HyperTerminal is to choose Custom Setup Type during Windows 95 installation and then select HyperTerminal when selecting components to install.

To install HyperTerminal after Windows 95 Setup

  1. In the Add/Remove Programs option in Control Panel, click the Windows Setup tab.
  2. In the Windows Setup Components list box, click Communications, and then click the Details button.
  3. In the Communications dialog box, click HyperTerminal, and then click OK.
