putty schmucky, Hyperterminal=hype. My suggestion is to try minicom that's available for most Unix systems. With minicom you may transfer files, create your own configuration files for use with different peripherals, select different protocols, and capture session into a file which you may later examine with mc (Midnight Commander) in hex mode for example. man minicom May need to take care of ttyX access permissions for non-root user to run it but you can try to use it as root until you figure it out. I used minicom to figure out configurations needed to get modem working with Linux in dial-up days or to transfer files between two PCs. > download also.
