Hyper Terminal for Server 2003?

I know this relates to Cisco but I figured since it primarily deals with the OS, I would post here. Please move it as you see fit!

I am setting up a Cisco lab, and would like to use my Windows Server 2003 machine to connect to a console on the router, potentially 2 since there are 2 ports for it. In XP there is the hyper terminal program which does nicely, but what can I use on Server 03 OS? The server is a file server on a simple peer-to-peer network. I'm working on getting my Cisco cert before going on to my MCSA, so I'm not worrying about domains or anything yet.

I installed the terminal server but have no idea of what this does, except it seems to work for computer remote assistance, rather than connecting to a router.

All help/suggestions are greatly appreaciated.
Thanks

The easiest way is probably to copy hypertrm.exe from another machine running an older version of Windows.

Umm.. just install Hyperteminal thru Add/Remove Windows Components. Select Accesories and click on Details, then Communications and Details again. Voila, Hyperterminal is waiting to be called upon.

Actually, you do not need to install anything. The EXE can found at C:\PROGRAMFILES\WINDOWS NT - hypertrm.exe...Or just do a search for hyperterm.exe, its on your system right now.
