Thanks for all the suggestions. I am using Realterm and it is working quite well. I had a bit of trouble sending messages initially but the following seems to work: 0x44 0x44 2 1 0xBC The space between bytes seems to be important. The only problem I noticed was this: When you right click, it shows the properties of the connection. The displayed baud rate seems to be 57K, no matter what I set it to. Shaker

I'm staring to play with realterm as well, seems you have to set the options you want,baud,bits,etc. in the command line of the properties of the 'icon' you click to run the program. It doesn't have a 'startup file' as such. So if you have 4 different requirements, you need to create 4 different versions of realterm. hth j
