What happened to HyperTerminal?

HyperTerminal is no longer part of Windows. However, you can use Telnet.
It's a simple, text-based program that you can use to connect to another
computer over the Internet.
If you previously used HyperTerminal to troubleshoot modem problems, use
Phone and Modem Options instead:

============

By default, Telnet is not installed with Windows, but you can install it by
following the steps below.

To install Telnet Client
Click the Start button , click Control Panel, click Programs, and then click
Turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator
password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

In the Windows Features dialog box, select the Telnet Client check box.

Click OK. The installation might take several minutes.

P.S. Most routers now-a-days can be accesed via http://192.168.0.1 of
whatever IP you have assigned to it.

Yeah, I just installed telnet and it works fine. My router doesn't support
it but I did connect to and use a telnet server on the web. Are you using an
administrator account? Also, I'm using RC2; I can't tell you if it works in
earlier builds.

when I tried to look at the config of my router I couldn't find telenet
or hypertrm
could it be that I still need to add it thru add/remove programs or is
it simply missing in vista beta builds?
