Cutting and Pasting config via Hyperterminal

Many times I tried to paste a large block of config into hyperterm, and it fails. Now I know why, and how to fix it thanks to this tip from Cisco's Packet mag.

Suhail Kulasi, Ashurst, London, England :

If you cut and paste your config onto an IOS-based switch using Hyperterminal, it breaks down about midway. This occurs because Hyperterminal sends the text too quickly for the switch, particularly if a command returns a message, such as portfast. To avoid this, in Hyperterminal, select File – Properties; click the Settings tab, click the ASCII button, and add a character delay of 5 milliseconds. You should now be able to cut and paste your config successfully.
