M/soft take all the tools you need out of windows, so they have room for all the blingy things that get used once and then nobody uses again.

I use and always have, hyper-terminal for cisco routers and retrieving firmware info from some specialist printers.

When i got my new all singing all dancing Tosh netbook from work to replace my trusty but seriously ageing dell laptop not only did the Tosh not have a serial port (admittedly not m/soft fault) but hyper-terminal was "missing" from win7 had to rescue it from my laptop before it went back

putty has serial port support for connecting to cisco routers .. I use putty to connect to a IBM Proventia appliance box for upgrades for the application.
