PuTTY is just a click away.
PuTTY is a good tool, but not so good a software in the context of user experience. I frequently need to access serial ports on Windows, and 2 major problems of PuTTY continuously haunted me:
devmgmt.msc
to look up COM# numbers every time (this require UAC elevation)ComOn! is designed to partially solve these 2 problems.
Requirements:
putty.exe
in PATH
The UI is self-explanatory.
