Hi.

That line along with the fact that i didn't get an error when visiting the page makes me think that maybe the windows certificate store is out of date. Have you run updates lately?

It would also explain the fact that firefox works for you because firefox uses its own cert store and doesn't need the windows certs.

For anyone else, the site should be safe to visit.

The below link is one possible explaination of why this isn't working for you, It very much depends on the updates you may or may not have done.

Thanks.

Interesting. I don't get this certificate error if using brave.

I wonder what the error is? If you click advanced is there an error message?

I don't know if it means anything but when using Brave and Chrome, both more or less the same browser, I get a security message that the certificate is invalid.  I don't know if it matters.  Firefox shows no such message.  Does that mean anything concerning how safe the browsers are in this respect if a site has an expired certificate?

This is where you can get Hyper Terminal for Windows 10. There is even a version that supports scripting:

Here is a correction.  It was a long time ago, but I just remembered that I didn't use the hyperterminal program in XP.  I don't know how easy it was to use but I started out using the Hyperterminal in Windows 95 and 98, which are very different in terms of interface.  I seem to recall that Hyperterminal in XP is a command line program and I didn't want to fool around with it since the Windows 95 and 98 version was so easy to use, having a Windows interface.  So the forum discussion I provided may not be useful.

There was some sort of security problem with the Windows 95/98 hyperterminal but it doesn't matter for how you are going to use it.

I placed the Windows 95/98 program on my XP machine and used it but I don't know if it runs in Windows 7 and higher.

I don't know what Hyperterminal is like now.  I used to use it in XP for transfering files from a Braille 'N Speak but I don't know how the program may have changed since then.

Rick, thanks for this info. Someone on a Facebook group acquired a used Blazie Engineering Type 'n Speak and was asking about what could be used to facilitate file transfers to and from the device. Aside from Blazie's proprietary software many of us used terminal programs such as Procomm, Telix and Commo but these likely wouldn't be reasonable options in a Windows 10 environment. I was hoping to find an accessible terminal program to recommend to her. If I feel motivated to do it I may fire up my Bns or Braille Lite to see if Terraterm can communicate with it.

Frank, a while back I ran across the need to use a terminal program
and looked at a few of them. The most accessible one to me seemed to
be Tera Term which is the one I used for that project. My needs were
simple so my knowledge of the program is quite shallow but you can
give it a try and see if it works for you. I don't have the link but a
Google search will find it.





Warmest regards

Hi all, can anyone recommend the most accessible terminal program for
serial communications?
Thanks
