Termite is an easy to use and easy to configure RS232 terminal. It uses an interface similar to that of "messenger" or "chat" programs, with a large window for all received data and an edit line for typing in strings to transmit. Highlights of the utility are the ease of installation (possibly with pre-configured settings) using a heuristic search for the appropriate COM port, plug-in support and, as was mentioned, its user-friendliness. Other features are port forwarding (for monitoring communication between two devices), text search, printing support, and edit history (of text that you typed) and using different colours to distinguish transmitted text from received text.
