title: How to retrieve data from PC's Hyperterminal
body: <p>We will be building a facility by which we can send some information to the PC from external Hardware device ie. Microcontroller .The information will be displayed on the "Hyper Terminal" of the PC .We can interface a microcontroller to the PC and the output could be possibly displayed on the PC's Hyperterminal .Our requirement is , we need to extract the data from "Hyperterminal" show this on a website. So, is there any way by which we can we can get the data from the Hyperterminal and put it to the website. My guess is , we have to do some coding  through which we can collect data from "Hyperterminal" destop application and need to put it on web application . We are  unclear about the programming language selection that would preferably suite and serve the best in this situation . We are developers in  PHP , Flex and C but we are in dilemma , that is it required to create a destop application using .net / java , or there is a API interface of the hyperterminal which can be used . </p>
  
  <p>I will be very grateful and it will be a great help to us , if you suggest which programming techniques that can be used to achieve the aforesaid objective . I request you to put some light on the methodologies , technologies involved that we need to take into consideration .</p>
