Can't change Hyper Terminal Hardware Settings

Can't change Hyper Terminal Hardware Settings Anyone here any good with Hyperterminal? Am having a nightmare trying to use it at work to update our telephone extensions. The company who supply our PABX box have told me that XP does strange things to Hyperterminal and that I should use Win2k. Which I did with the same result.

"In the end ditched XP and Hyper Terminal completely. We use Wyse boxes at our company so was able to set one of those up to dial the correct extension and use an interactive terminal session while also giving me correct control of the Parity and Stop Bits etc. Worked like a charm and means we no longer have to have a separate Laptop to perform this function.

Cheers for the suggestions."

Putty also does terminal emulation -- start it, and select the "Serial" radio button. Then enter your COM-port and voila!
