Reason for Needing Replacement

• Nothing in HyperTerminal is Buffered
• Caused Bug in my KYSat Software UART
• Cant send raw Hexadecimal characters
• Needed to change baud rate for LCD
• Had to find hex editor (need a good one)
• Change text file in Hex
• Send text file in HyperTerminal
• Sending Repeated Characters in HyperTerminal will
  sometimes not work

Goals for Replacement

• Easy to pick up and use
• During search I shorted Tx and Rx pin and tried
  to send and receive something, if I couldnt get
  it to work in 2 mins I quit and found something
  else
• FREE
• Find something anyone can download quickly off
  internet
• Be able to send hexadecimal easily
