In VB2005 you might find My.Computer.Ports.* interesting.
You should be able to obtain a SerialPort object and start
writing your own terminal program from scratch.
If you are looking for ready-made components, this (and others)
might be what you are looking for: http://www.dart.com/dotnet/
What features of HyperTerminal are you trying to emulate? I have simple
terminal programs in my book (and to download from my homepage). If you
want error-checked file transfers, it is possible to port XMComm (also on my
homepage, with the source code in the book) to the Compact Framework. I
have not done so, to date. The demand has been limited.
