This doesn't agree with my experience.  I have used Hyperterm many times to
talk to simple devices that use only RX, TX, and GND without any handshaking
loopback.  Hyperterm definitely does not send anything to the device on
startup, only when a key is pressed.  Maybe you have one of the fancy
terminal emulation types specified?  Maybe some of those do cause it to try
and find what's out there.  In any case, I've never seen the behavior you
describe.
