Thank you all for the timely help provide, I am summarizing the solution and
some recommendations. Hope this helps others :)
Solutions that worked:
Use a simple Null modem cable, No full-handshake - Remco
You should try flow control set to xon/xoff - Chris
If you're using a laptop, you might even want to try a different laptop to
make the console connection. I had the same problem last week and couldn't
get it to work until I had switched to a different laptop. - Tom
Other Recommendations
I use TeraTerm Pro rather than Hyperterm.

Perhaps you would benefit from using TuTTy. It's the PuTTy ssh client
with serial support. http://putty.dwalin.ru/?downloads - Jarco
Try setting hardware flow control on. - Michael

Sai
