dialing remotely

I lost my laptop which I had procomm to access my option 11. Is there a free alternative to Procomm that works? I lost the CD.

I have window vista now...

please help.

Hyperterminal should still do what you need.

 

[tommytommy011]

vista doesn't have hyperterminal...

You can download it. I have version 6.3 and it works well.

thanks,

I am using it on a laptop with internal modem and a desktop with external modem. both I have set for ANSIW/VT100/8N1 for most of my connections, but you may also want to try 7N1 too as that seems to be a fairly popular set up. My external modem is a US robotics with switch 3,5 and 8 down.(remember to reboot the modem if you have to change this)
Hope that helps.

You can also use PuTTY as a free alternative.
