Classic computers are fun,  I have an C128 setup (not plugged in) next
to my P75.
You will have to install Hyperterm,  it comes with Win95,  it can be
found (if installed)
in the Accessories from the Start Button. I think you should be able to
figure out the
rest.   One other thing Hyperterm is a REAL term program,  much better
than the one
that Win 3.11 had.
