Freeware terminal emulator for PPC?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Is there any freeware that will let you transfer files via the serial
port to a non-Activesync device?

Something like HyperTerm for the desktop. Or vxHpc for the PPC -- but
not so full-featured and not costing $30 a pop.

I was able to do this but could not see how to do a file transfer,
except perhaps a small ASCII file that could be cut and pasted in the
modem window. Is there another way?

Yes, I think you are correct. I might yet go that route. The company
was a little unclear about how many licenses you need if you want to
put vxHpc on more than one PDA, but will only use one at a time.

First, I will try Kermit for DOS under PocketDOS. I have PocketDOS
already and Kermit is freeware -- and quite flexible. I expect to do
file transfers only rarely and can put up with a command line
interface on those occasions.
