Verifying COM Ports

You can use HyperTerminal, provided by Windows NT, to
verify your Serial COM ports for digital modems.
HyperTerminal enables you to ensure that COM ports have
been declared and are running properly. HyperTerminal
enables you to emulate various terminals, such as VT100,
TTY, and ANSI.

To verify your COM ports:

1. From the Windows NT Start menu, select Programs,

Accessories, and HyperTerminal.

The Connection description dialog box appears.
