Using Test Terminal
WCOM32 is a terminal program that enables you to open a port, send characters
and commands to the port, and toggle the control signals.
Note: WCOM32 will not work on ports used by RAS if Remote Access Service is
running or any other application is using the port. If you are using RAS,
you must stop the service before starting WCOM32 to test RAS COM ports.
To test ports that are not used by RAS, you do not need to stop RAS.
