I have used it to configure switches made in 1998 and have used it on early 1990 manufacturing equipment via RS232 with no problem. The only thing Putty won't do is upload and download files. That's when I have had to use the old faithful TFTP. The file transfer issue is why I recommend TeraTerm. It has a variety of File Transfer options.

Funny you mentioned Cisco is using Putty. I learned about TeraTerm when I was studying for the CCNA.
HyperTerminal and HyperACCESS enable communication with other computer systems, devices, hardware, and pieces of equipment. Connect using Telnet or SSH over TCP/IP networks, using a direct serial connection, or modem to modem. Both products are compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10.
Microsoft HyperTerminal is a small program that comes with Microsoft Windows. You can use it to send AT commands to your mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem. It can be found at Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal. If you cannot find it and you are using Windows 98, then probably you have not installed it. You can go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Windows Setup tab -> Communications list box item -> Details button to install MS HyperTerminal. Before you start programming your SMS application, you may want to check if your mobile phone, GSM/GPRS modem and SIM card are working properly first.
The MS HyperTerminal is a handy tool when it comes to testing your GSM devices. It is a good idea to test your GSM devices beforehand. When a problem occurs, sometimes it is difficult to tell what causes the problem.
The cause can be your program, the GSM device or the SIM card. If you test your GSM device and SIM card with MS HyperTerminal and they operate properly, then it is very likely that the problem is caused by your program. For Linux users, minicom can be used instead of HyperTerminal. The Procedure for Sending AT Commands to a Mobile Phone or GSM/GPRS Modem Using MS HyperTerminal To use MS HyperTerminal to send AT commands to your mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem, you can follow the procedure below: • Put a valid SIM card into the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem.
You can obtain a SIM card by subscribing to the GSM service of a wireless network operator.• Connect your mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to a computer and set up the corresponding wireless modem driver. You should find the wireless modem driver in the CD or disk that was provided by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not provide such CD or disk with your mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem, you can go to the manufacturer's web site and see whether the wireless modem driver can be downloaded there. If the wireless modem driver cannot be found on the web site, you can still use Windows' standard modem driver.• Run MS HyperTerminal by selecting Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal.• In the Connection Description dialog box, enter a name and choose an icon you like for the connection.
