Microsoft stopped including the HyperTerminal program as part of its offering with
Windows Vista. As a result you will need to find an alternate program to communicate
directly with the LMU. One option is to purchase HyperTerminal from Hilgraeve
http://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal.html
Alternatively you can use a terminal emulation program such as PuTTY.
