Connecting to a COM port via Telnet in Windows 7

Question

Network administration

Very often I saw on Habré how they connected to a modem (on a serial port) via Telnet, and manually sent AT commands to it. But as I understand it, all this was done in Linux (since I did not find such an opportunity in the Windows telnet).
Tell me how to reach the modem through telnet in Windows 7?

Answer 1

Through Telnet? Maybe you meant minicom?
You can access the modem in Windows 7 using PuTTY (you will still work with minicom, but the convenient PuTTY will launch it unnoticed by you).

Answer 2

Use Putty, it (in the newest version) can connect to COM * And everything works with a virtual COM port (for example, working via Bluetooth)
