Okay, so hyperterminal isn't in Vista and I need a terminal program that can use a dial-up modem. (i'm needing to connect into a oldish telephone system)
What choices do I have? I've tried Teraterm and that doesn't have the dial-up capability that is present in hyperterminal.

If you have a dial up modem installed try the Phone and Modem Options and see if anything it listed for you.
To access the Phone and Modem Options click the Start button (Windows Pearl now), clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, and then clicking Phone and Modem Options.
Being the open source zealot I am I tried to find a better open source program. I found ponderosa, but you have to install a plugin to get serial functionality, so bleh hyperterminal does the job.
I solved the problem by copying over the hyperterminal files from an XP install. A bit of a fudge I admit but it did the trick.
It isn't a direct serial connection by the way guys, it's modem to modem. So I needed something that gave me the ability to dial up the telephone exchange. (which is what hyperterminal gave)
I use PuTTY for all my telnet and SSH needs already.

I'm just curious, since it's actually becoming rare to see new computers with a modem.
Just kidding.
