You actually were able to use Hyperterminal to debug serial protocols on a
Microsoft development platform? Ouch, does that thing even have a hex
display? Last time I tried it, it didn't even have an option to display
control characters.
If I'm on a machine running Microsoft Windoes , I find it easier to run
Procomm in a DOS box. Much more powerfull and you get scripting too. I've
also run across a couple of shareware or demoware Microsoft Windowsprograms
that are more geared towards engineering purposes - the log is time-stamped
for example.
Sorry I can't answer your actual question - I can only hope of course that
there are much better things available on Linux (like "ask" for example?)
