I use Hercules[^] whenever I need one of the following: Serial Communication, TCP Client, TCP Server, UDP Communication
It's free and doesn't require an installation (standalone exe)

putty, minimal, no annoying and only makes sessions in you want. The fantastic program wich does not put his hands in your pocket.

Hterm [] works for me. I haven't compared it to other emulators mentioned here so I can't claim that it's the best, but it talks to PIC micros over USBser.sys conveniently without fuss. Also python's serial module is pretty easy to use if you fancy writing your own interface instead of using a terminal emulator.

I copy hypertrm.exe and hypertrm.dll from an old XP box to a directory on the new box...
|
|

|

I still use HyperTerminal. I grabbed hypertrm.exe and hypertrm.dll off my XP machine and have them on a flash drive to use on my Windows 7 laptop. I also run an XP VM within Windows 7, so I can connect my USB to Serial adapter to the VM and use HyperTerminal there. If anyone's interested, I use the B&B Electronics Model 232USB9M for all my automation equipment and haven't had any problems. When laptops first stopped including serial ports, we had some converters that were a little temperamental. Also, while we're talking ancient comms, anyone that still needs to program a PLC-5 or anything else using a PCMCIA card on a modern laptop, I bought an ExpressCard to PCMCIA adapter from shopdigi.com and it works flawlessly. It looks cheap and there's no brand name on the packaging, but my Allen Bradley 1784-PCMK card works with it.

I have used several over the years. The best I found for my needs is Anzio. I use it daily. It is reliable and full of features that you would not expect to find in an emulator. The author has done an amaing job.

RealTerm or now more and more PuTTY. Never really cared about HyperTerminal, just used this on customer's PCs if nothing else was available... 
RS232 and RS485 aren't likely ever to die, they just work, are simple to implement and specially the later has features that other, newer technologies just can't compete with (try connecting to a device 1km away, for a reasonable amount of money)...

I've written an application that performs serial communication. Its screen shot is
Serial Port IO[^].
Although I would not characterize it as a commercial quality serial communications interface, it does come with source code if desired.
If there is any interest, I'll write a Code Project article and include the details.

I spent an hour crawing the web a couple years ago for a replacement, thought about it for a moment and spent a few minutes more to make a basic one.
Every once in a while I make improvements as the need requires.
Some might argue that buying one is more cost effective, but something a basic as hyper terminal is a wash when you figure you still need to test potental software to see if it will work for you.

It's an obscure terminal programs, which comes with a CCS compiler for PICs.

Good people are not recognized by their looks.
Politicians are always realistically manoeuvering for the next election. They are obsolete as fundamental problem-solvers.

Given the group I ride with (CMA[^]) I have seen many a scary looking guy do nice things.
Bikers get a bad wrap but there are more good ones than bad. Groups that help these kids really stick out and should be commended.
This time of year it is not uncommon to see a leather clad person with a large teddy bear on the back of their bike going to a toy drive.

What really causes me to pull my hat is that These guys put a Lot of Passion and dedication into The mission (and this goes to everyone doing Good Things, Not just The BACA)

A really nicely written narrative, to boot.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
