Hercules SETUP is described as 'utility is a useful serial port terminal (RS-485 or RS-232), UDP/IP terminal and TCP/IP Client Server terminal. It was created for HW group internal use only, but today its includes many functions in one utility and its Freeware!' and is a Terminal Emulator in the OS & Utilities category. There are three alternatives to Hercules SETUP for Windows and Linux. The best alternative is Tera Term, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Hercules SETUP are RealTerm (Free, Open Source) and HackBugUtility (Free).
- Tera Term (Pro) is a free software terminal emulator (communication program) for MS-Windows. It supports VT100 emulation, telnet connection, serial port connection, and so on.
- RealTerm is a terminal program specially designed for capturing, controlling and debugging binary and other difficult data streams. It is far better for debugging comms than HyperTerminal. It has no support for dialing modems, BBS, etc. - that is what HyperTerminal does.
- An alternative to Hercules SETUP by a user of Hercules. Tried to improve it where the author found it difficult to use. Ability to send ASCII and hex mixed, Imprved file saving added scripting, HEX view, etc.
