You might need to make a 'null modem' connection at your PC, I always =
use do.  I use HyperTerminal like this too.

To do a null modem at the PC end of your serial cable:

Connect RTS and CTS together
Connect DTR and DSR and CD together

After this, standard HT settings with same baud rate always works for =
me.

Then, when HyperTerminal starts to give you the shits, look for a =
program called 'Com'.
