You could try Telix for Windows, a shareware version that works for 41
days is available on some magazine coverdisks, it works pretty well, and
has ripscript support as well as ansi. The version I tried had a few bugs,
but hey, what doesnt these days? ;-)

Hyperterminal is a load of crap. Microsoft should be asshamed of themselves
for including it with Win95.
