* Next clicking HyperTerminal to start the program
For first time users, a window will open asking you to insert "Location Information". This will include information such as your country, area code, the way you would like to connect (modem/TCP) or if your phone uses tone or pulse dialing. Then click OK.
A "New Connection" window opens up, allowing you to choose a name and an icon for your HyperTerminal session. After this information has been filled out, use the "telephone" icons on the HyperTerminal toolbar to connect or disconnect a call to another computer.
Other than connecting to other computers, HyperTerminal can be used to monitor the status of your modem. The details of any connection made using HyperTerminal are recorded in a log file. Reviewing this file can be one way to troubleshoot modem issues.
