Connect on the Call menu (or click the Connect button on the toolbar), you
cannot make another connection.

CAUSE

Using HyperTerminal, you can have only one open connection per instance.

RESOLUTION

If you have one modem, disconnect from the current session before dialing a
second session. If you have multiple modems, you can open other instances of
HyperTerminal, and then make a connection in each instance.
