RS232 Terminal Programs

I need to be able to send hex codes to the AVE55.  This can be done on Hyperterminal by pressing ALT and typing the hex code into the numeric keypad.  On the laptop though, this becomes a bit of a pain because there is no dediacted numeric key pad & I do not know if it actually work.  My netbook is Win 7 and win7 does not come with hyperterminal anyway.  So the search is on for a terminal program.

Make sure you get V2.0.0.57 (or later).  Initially I clicked the "latest version" link and that did not support escape sequences.
 Seems difficult to mix hex and characters in the one string.
It would be nice to send

02 56 42 43 3A 31 34 32 03                        .VBC:142.
\x02VBC:142\x03   Where "\x" means hex.

Not a terminal program.  More of a dos prompt like thing.
