Cannot solicit prompt when connecting to COM1

Hi Managers,

Tru64 v5.1A PK6

We have connected a null-modem serial cable between ES40 com 1 and a
MS-Windows server. I was expecting to use Hyperterminal on the ms-windows
server, hit return a few times and see the login prompt. But no response.

I set Hyperterminal to 9600, software flow(XON/XOFF), 8 bit no parity, 1
stop bit

I intend to access these servers remotely to install a CSP (C1476.02
AT_G08565: Fix for premature connection termination) in single user mode,
and before bringing down to SRM I wanted to check connectivity over this
serial cable.

I have got exactly the same problem at another site with a DS10.

Where am I going wrong?

consvar "console" is currently set to graphics, should this be serial
before I see the login prompt? Are there any other consvars which need to
be investigated?

TIA

Shaun
