hexidecimal

I'm using Putty to make a serial connection to a device. I need to send a Hex string on this session. How do I do this? The Hex String is FF7E414244

This is required to break the serial device into command interface mode...

From an XP machine, I can use HyperTerminal. And then on the serial connection, do a "send file", where the file has this hexstring entered using hex editing means. So this mechanism works.

But now I have a windows 7 with no hyperterminal. so I'm using putty. But now how do I send the hex string?

Thanks
