My "replacement for Hyperterm" was tongue in cheek (does anyone have
an appropriate smiley for that?).

Never used it, but did check the website.  Seems a bit, uhm, overblown.
Since I run Linux almost everywhere, I rarely need anything like that or
putty.  My laptop does dual boot (XP/Pro), but it hasn't run that in
about four months.  It does have putty on it for when I'm forced to
use that "evil washington thing" and I have putty on my USB FLASH for
those occasional emergencies.
