hyperterminal

dreamdelerium · Aug 6th, 2008, 06:09 AM

i know this might be off topic but i cant get this to work. im using a usb modem(huawei e220 usdpa usb modem) and i am trying to connect to it using hyperterminal. when it connects, the terminal wont allow me to type anything. i know its connected to the port because when i have the usb modem connected to the hyperterminal, i cant connect the modem to the default software. whats going on?

im using hyperterminal private edition which i had to download since im using vista

thanks

It has nothing to do with VB.NET so why put it in the VB.NET part of the forum?

For one thing, I am sure there are other forums that can help with hyperterminal problems better than most people on here... but if you do want to ask people on here then at least try to place it in a sub-forum where it vaguely has something to do with the title of the forum. I guess the only place you could put this one would be in the General forum but even then its still nothing to do with VB so I dont know how inclined people would be to help you.

yeah, thats what i figured but i thought maybe others here used hyperterminals when developing software for hardware

Are you doing this with any code or just procedural?

I assumed he was just asking for general advice, not actually trying to code it, but I may be wrong

Yea just trying to make sure what the request is so it can be moved to a better area if need be.

well, ive been working on this project for awhile now. im trying to create a program to interact with a hsdpa usb modem to send and recieve sms text messages (it uses a sim card). ive been succesfull in sending sms's, checking the state of the modem, and getting the phone book using the gsmcomm library but it isnt working for getting the modems inbox messages. so i thought id just try ussing AT commands to get to the inbox but that isnt working either. i wanted to use the hyperterminal to send AT commands to see if its even supported. i assume it has to be, as the software that came from the modem can do it, so why cant it? this project has been super frustrating and if anyone could help id really appreciate it
thanks
