DITION

Although you can use the Hyperterminal application that is supplied along with your Windows
operating system to perform this demonstration, it is not recommended. Hyperterminal does not

BlueConnect/Widchat, but will not echo on the Hyperterminal display.
You can obtain a free upgrade of Hyperterminal that will support local echo. It can be obtained
