Hyperterm question - W2k vs WinXP

[Michael Lawson]

We have a telephone switch that we connect to via a modem connection. In the
workstation side we have a W2K workstation with a modem. On the phone switch
side we have a USRobotics 33.6 modem connected to the serial port. That
setup works fine with Hyperterm. We try the same thing with WinXP, a modem
and Hyperterm and while we can connect to the USR modem on the other end, no
data gets displayed. I have checked to make sure the Hyperterm settings are
identical between the W2K workstation and the WinXP workstation. I does
appear that the Hyperterm versions are differnt between the two OSs. I even
tried the 6.3 version of Hyperterm you can download from Hilgraeve website
on the WinXP workstation. No good. Any idea what I am missing? Would it be
possible to copy the version of W2Ks Hyperterm onto the WinXP machine? I
doubt it would work; but has anyone tried it?

Thanks for the help,
Mike Lawson

You can sure do it OK, however, the version of Hyperterminal that was
in W2K is really the same in XP. Hilgraeve hasn't upgraded it. What
you downloaded from the Hilgraeve site was the Personal Edition
(HTPE 6.3). Your problems are hardware related not software.

I am having a similar 2000 vs xp problem, however, it seems to be the buffer corruption problem that they fixed back in sp2 of win 2K. KB Article # 274261

When I scroll up the text buffer is jumbled.

Anyone else seen this? resolution?

I was debating copying the dll and exe from 2K

Thanks
