|
|
<p>HyperTerminal Private Edition (HyperTerminal PE) is a more powerful version of
|
|
HyperTerminal, which Microsoft includes with Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0.
|
|
Hilgraeve developed HyperTerminal for Microsoft, and began providing HyperTerminal PE free
|
|
for personal use shortly after the release of Windows 95. Each successive release of
|
|
HyperTerminal PE has won new awards and caused the program's following to swell. It is
|
|
today one of the most popular free downloads on the Internet.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>PC Magazine has said "HyperTerminal Private Edition sets a new standard for what
|
|
to expect from free software…one of the Internet's best giveaways." For excerpts
|
|
from other reviews, click <a href="http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe.html#press">here</a>.
|
|
HyperTerminal PE also draws raves from end users. To read some samples, click <a
|
|
href="http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe.html#users">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>HyperTerminal PE is provided free for personal use and at a modest charge for business
|
|
use (see <a href="#Your Rights and Ours">license agreement</a>). Business users may
|
|
evaluate the product for a period of 15 days, then purchase individual or site licenses if
|
|
they wish to continue using it. You can purchase a single-user license for $29.95 by
|
|
double-clicking the Purchase Private Edition icon in the folder that contains
|
|
HyperTerminal PE, or use the <a href="http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpeord.html">online order
|
|

full-featured communications program, HyperACCESS. Businesses or individuals who need
|
|
capabilities beyond those of HyperTerminal PE should consider HyperACCESS.</p>

<p><a name="What is DropChute+?"><font face="Arial"><strong>What is DropChute?</strong></font></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DropChute is a new product from Hilgraeve, entirely separate from HyperTerminal or
|
|
HyperACCESS. It's a revolutionary new kind of software -- personal file delivery software
|
|
-- the fastest, easiest, most secure way to exchange files with others over the Internet,
|
|
intranets, or modems. It solves the problems people experience trying to exchange files as
|
|
email attachments or with ftp.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DropChute lets you:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Deliver files of any kind to any other PC through the Internet, intranets (TCP/IP
|
|
networks), or by modem, simply by dragging and dropping the files onto that person's icon.</li>
|
|
<li>DropChute instantly establishes a REAL-TIME connection to the other PC and send files
|
|
immediately, avoiding the time lag and insecurity of e-mail store-and-forward mechanisms.</li>
|
|
<li>Send individual files, folders, or entire drives. There is no limit to the size, number,
|
|
or type of files you can send.</li>
|
|
<li>Send and receive all data with ironclad error correction, crash recovery and on-the-fly
|
|
compression, so you can be sure files come through intact, safe, secure, and fast.</li>
|
|
<li>Exchange files with complete privacy with RSA Public Key Authentication and Symmetric
|
|
Key Encryption, based on Microsoft Cryptography APIs. No extra manual steps required.</li>
|
|
<li>Enjoy peace of mind that files are free from more than 6,700 known computer viruses.
|
|
DropChute detects and blocks viruses in incoming files using IBM virus data.</li>
|
|
<li>Chat in real-time with the person at the other end before, during or after a file
|
|
exchange. Attach cover notes to files, for the recipient to read.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>DropChute eliminates problems associated with e-mail attachments, such as security
|
|
concerns, clogged mail servers, and slow or uncertain delivery. It's easier than ftp and
|
|
more secure. It exchanges files through a real-time, user-authenticated, encypted
|
|
connection, so nobody can intercept and decipher the data. And it works through firewalls
|
|
without breaching security.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can download and install a 30-day FREE trial of DropChute+ simply by rerunning the
|
|
HyperTerminal PE setup program and selecting this option. For more information about
|
|
DropChute+, click <a href="http://www.dropchute.com">here</a>, or call 800-826-2760 (US

is Different from HyperTerminal</b></font></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the surface, HyperTerminal PE seems identical to HyperTerminal (except for its
|
|
banner screen). Both are speedy 32-bit programs that take full advantage of the Windows
|
|
interface and features, such as TAPI (Telephony API) and Unimodem universal modem support.
|
|
But looks can be deceiving. Each new version of HyperTerminal PE has added new features
|
|
not in the versions of HyperTerminal that Microsoft provides, and has corrected problems
|
|
identified after release of HyperTerminal. Sections below list the new features added in
|
|
each new version of HyperTerminal PE.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>HyperTerminal PE 5.0 is provided as a file called HTPE5.EXE. Simply execute HTPE5.EXE
|
|
and follow the instructions that display. You can do this by opening the folder that
|
|
contains HTPE5.EXE and double-clicking on this file, or by selecting Run from the Start
|
|
menu, browsing to the folder, and selecting this file. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>That's it! HyperTerminal PE is now ready to use. You start and use it the same as the
|
|
HyperTerminal program provided with Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0; see your
|
|
Windows documentation or Help for instructions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="Using HyperTerminal PE as a Telnet Client"><font face="Arial"><b>Using
|
|
HyperTerminal PE as a Telnet Client</b></font></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Using HyperTerminal PE as a telnet client is simple. You must have TCP/IP installed on
|
|
your computer first. Once that is done, simply change the "Connect using"
|
|
setting to "TCP/IP (Winsock)" in HyperTerminal PE's Connect To property sheet,
|
|
and enter the Host address (either the host name or its numeric IP address and port
|
|
number). Telnet sites are typically listed in one of the two following forms: </p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p><b>Host name:port number </b>or <b>numeric IP address:port number</b></p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you enter no port number, HyperTerminal PE assumes you mean port number 23, which is
|
|
the default port for telnet. If the telnet site you want to reach uses a port other than
|
|
23, you will need to enter the port number.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="Changing the Redial Delay"><font face="Arial"><b>Changing the Redial Delay</b></font></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You may need to change the redial delay if your country restricts how quickly busy
|
|
numbers may be redialed. (The US has no restrictions.) The default delay is two seconds.
|
|
To change the delay, you must change a setting in the Windows registry: </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>1. Run the Registry Editor. If you don't have a shortcut set up for the Registry
|
|
Editor, type REGEDIT at a DOS prompt.<br>
|
|
2. Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder by clicking on the plus sign to the left of the
|
|
folder, or double-click on the folder.<br>
|
|
3. Open the SOFTWARE folder and the Microsoft folder that it contains in a similar
|
|
fashion.<br>
|
|
4. Open the HyperTerminal folder contained in the Microsoft folder.<br>
|
|
5. Open the TimeToRedial folder contained in the HyperTerminal folder, and a value will
|
|
appear in the window on the right.<br>
|
|
6. Double-click on the (Default) to bring up the Edit String dialog. Enter the new value
|
|
and click OK.<br>
|
|
7. Exit the Registry Editor.</p>

<p><a name="Use of Special Characters"><font face="Arial"><b>Using Special Characters</b></font></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you find that special characters aren't being sent or displayed correctly by
|
|
HyperTerminal PE, try changing to a different font. Due to the way Windows maps characters
|
|
under different fonts, you will see a different character displayed if you are using the
|
|
Terminal font, as opposed to the other available fonts. There is a more complete
