New Eh?
You most certainly can tell HyperTerm to "just talk down COM1".

It's crap in a lot of ways, but this isn't one of them - I have used HyperTerm to talk to things like DEC Brouters and Terminal Servers many times. No phone number required - just choose "Direct to COM1", set 8, one and none, hardware flow control, 9600, you're cooking on gas.

What I should have also said was that although it was possible to shortcut it's Make a Connection interface to talk directly down a serial line, HyperTerm still expected very strongly you to do what I said. Navigating through the various cancel boxes to do it is far too intimidating.

Experienced users will of course save a configuration with the right settings, but on a new install of Windows, you have to run the gauntlet of the "Make a Connection" dialog boxes.

New Hyperterm
That is what I used to download a better terminal program. Just entered a number of a local BBS into its connection thingamabob and then just downloaded one of those many shareware DOS terminals like Procomm, QModem, Telix, Terminate, etc. But I mostly used Qmodem, had it on a disk.
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.
