Windows Telnet

[lotharamious]

Hey all,

I'm trying to find a built-in Windows utility that will connect directly through a serial COM port to a Cisco switch. The catch: NOT hyperterminal. I know about teraterm and the like, but I just don't feel like loading that on a bunch of programming computers if I can just find out how to do it in Windows itself.

Is there any command line program that can do that; something like the telnet command in cmd?

What about the old Windows Terminal application?

Or is it that you do not want a Windows application?

 

[lotharamious]

I do want a native Windows application; something that comes right out of the box.

Then Hyperterminal is your apps, AFAIK it's the only one that comes with Windows that does what you want.
