Terminal software for Windows

[msp563]

Is there a terminal program that I can run under windows to communicate with a PK-232?

putty? it can talk to COM ports.

I've used TeraTerm for many years. No complaints.

Apparently, there's now a good terminal program built into Windows called simply Windows Terminal. Lots of positive comments online about, but I've never tried it myself.

Another vote for TeraTerm. I discovered it recently for something else at work, and it works well.

That's a terminal emulator that opens a PowerShell window. It doesn't communicate with RS232 devices.

Flashbacks to Microsoft Windows 3.1 were imminent, so I was actually relieved to read that!

Ditto. I’ve been using PuTTY for years, at work and home.

The PK232 is very dated in the modes it can use

There are many Windoze (and some others) digital programs out there; specifically what are you trying to do with it?

I use to use PuTTy all of the time when working with Cisco routers and switches. I have used Terra Term with other routers and switches along with updating firmware on the Xiegu G90. Both programs work well.

I use putty now but in the past I used to copy the HyperTerminal app from older versions of Windows into new versions and it worked fine. Not sure it would be worth it now though.
