Hyperterminal is available in its full version. I is not free.

If you still have your XP disk or still have it installed on a box, get the
hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe files from that installation, copy them
together to a directory on your Vista box. Run the program from
hypertrm.exe. No other installation is required. You might find it
convenient to put a shortcut on the desktop in the usual way.
