title: COM port terminal program
body: <p>I have developed an embedded application which requests status information from a device down a communications channel.  My customer requires that these will be sent with a specific time period, so what I am looking for is a PC terminal application which can send a text string command repeatedly at a set interval over a period of time.  I currently use a serial device tester which can immediately send back a set string when something is sent to it, but I need to control the time period and number of repititions.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any applications (for Windows) out there which can acheive this?</p>
