I just changed from windows NT to XP and I am no longer able
to connect to my unix system. I used to use hyper terminal -- which acts as dumb terminal to my main frame unix system. I think one of the options used to be "direct to comX". This option isn't listed now. I use a serial port and the computer does recognize this as a com port. I use a direct connection. I called microsoft tech support and they didn't understand this concept and tried several things but were unable to help me. Does anyone know if I my com port configured incorrectly or do I need special drivers.

The computer talks to my com port however I don't think it knows I have a direct connection or cable in my serial port.

Thanks for any help anyone may have.
