My vote is for Termite. Although very basic, what it does do, it does extremely well. Never had cause to complain or grumble over the last 12 months of almost continual usage.

Since we (I) inadvertently hijacked this thread into a Hyperterm thing, I'll
add my $0.02 on terminal programs.

I've been using ProComm for years, mostly because I've always had a licensed
copy. I install it without all the fax and "internet" stuff, just the data
terminal. It's reliable, it has scripting (complicated, powerful, and
rarely needed by me), and it's always "just worked".

Unfortunately, terminal programs are no longer mainstream software, and
there's not been any updates to speak of for it. It's biggest weakness is
that anything above COM9 isn't recognized. Not usually a problem with
hardware serial ports, but a lot of USB serial devices install at COM30 and
such.

I've heard people say good things about TeraTerm and putty, although I've
not used them. When I was at Hayes, someone introduced me to a program
called 'commo'. It was pretty nice, but at that point I had a handful of
scripts written in ProComm, and it wasn't worth switching them.

It's always been my contention that Hilgraeve must have pictures of Bill
Gates with a goat or something. Even Microsoft haters will concede there's
no way that something as bad as Hyperterm would be included with Windows (or
as I like to call it, the Freecell Operating System) without coercement.

Wikipedia has a like of terminal emulators:

Under Linux, I mostly use minicom. I like it because unlike some of the
KDE/Gnome/X based stuff, it's a good text mode terminal program.

For you teraterm users, I've been under the impression for several
years the things was orphaned.

Just recently, I found that it has been picked up again, and it's alot
better in at least some ways (i.e. ports > COM4). Works fine with my
usb dongles, and I haven't seen that issue where all the output gets
garbled and stays that way.

Googling it still has references to the orphan at the top. The site
for the new stuff is:
