  • The problem I am having - using both hyperterminal and Putty - is that neither accepts any input from terminal at any point during the connection. So I can't break the boot sequence OR enter login information. Am I missing something? Is there a way to force commands using a different sequence of key presses?
  • The special command sequences available are described in the 'Using PuTTY' documentation page. However, to check the tunnels you have open, you would right-click the PuTTY icon in the upper-left corner of the window and choose 'Change Settings', then drill down to Connection → SSH → Tunnels.

In the regular putty client on windows i can right click the top of the window and send a 'special command' such as 'break'. I can't seem to find this functionality on super putty... and i didnt see anything in the documentation or in other issues. Does this feature exist?

Thanks

Putty serial console

I'd enable right click menu extend. You can send break command through it.

Break Key In Putty

You'd do it in Putty, not super putty.
