It's very easy, so please don't pay anyone to do it. Any standard
terminal software, such as Hyperterminal which comes free with
Windows95, will do. You need a cable to connect between the wall
socket and a free serial port on the PC (I think the cable should be
the null modem variety - will someone please correct me if this is
wrong). I have my terminal software to use VT100 terminal emulation, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control. When you log on
you should set the TAP code to 1219 instead of 1935 and it should work
with no problems.
Personally, I use a freeware terminal program called TeraTerm Pro to
log onto Vamp Medical. I like it because it allows me to set up the
function keys to work like a dumb terminal and I can change the screen
colours when I get bored.
