Yes you can dump the dumb terminals and replace them with a terminal
emulator. HP Terminals aren't so dumb so Hyperterminal most probably won't
hack it. There are a number of HP terminal emulators available ranging in
price from free to lots. The main players are, in no special order:

    www.wrq.com/products/reflection
    www.screenjet.com (follow the link for terminal emulation)
    http://aics-research.com/qcterm
    www.minisoft.com

You can continue connecting to the 922LX via a serial connection to the DTC.
If you are running a LAN you can put the 922LX on the LAN and connect to it
that way.
