Connection between Stratix III FPGA board and PS over Hyperterminal

Hi, I have a question about the connection between the Stratix III FPGA board and Hyperterminal from Windows. How can I communicate about Hyperterminal with the board. Why I want to do this?...

The Jtag Uart works very well, but requires the USB blaster drivers and at least the Nios kit to be installed on the PC. So it doesn't fit with your requirement of having the board work with someone that didn't install the Altera software.
