Hi Peter and Simon,
I did that and I got "Error Couldn't find package Minicom" If I need to be on the internet for this then I am going in circles.
Cheers

The big downside with an Ubuntu install is that the standard expected default setup is a broadband connection. You can only get so much on a cd and aptget is not much cop without it. I've had discussions about this with the Ubuntu guys in the past and apparently you can get a DVD image, I just haven't been able to find it and they only give away CDs The OpenSuSE DVD will have everything you need if you still have it.

Hi Chris,
The complexites fine with me. However I need to know were to find these Hyperterminal equivalent programs in a default load of 64 bit Ubuntu 8. I have had a poke around in accessories and system but I don't see them.
You nedd to install minicom, as it is not installed by default. If you using the synaptic package manager, it is under the 'Communication' menu. Alternatively, "sudo apt-get install minicom" in the command line will install it.
