Windows 8 doesn't have the hyper terminal menu, but we can still run this classic communication tool with simple/easy trick.
Hyperterminal is small application/tool that can you use for telnet, connect to other computers, connect to peripherals, bulletin board systems (BBSs),etc, that connections are made using a modem, or an Ethernet connection.
To get Hyperterminal in Windows 8 :
If you still have Windows XP, just find an copy the two files : hypertrm.exe and hypertrm.dll and paste to the folder in Windows 8 (make new folder anywhere in the drive)

Extract the file and put in the same directory.
