check out your tty settings on the unix box and see if they match your hyperterminal settings. you can do that through smit or other management tool or lsattr -D -l 'ttyx' where x is the tty of the serial port where you are attacched to

This applies for SCO 3.2v4x Four suggestions: 1. Check out the /etc/inittab file for the correct speed settings recom'd: 19200 2. Is the Unix port enabled (should be at begining of line in inittab file)"Respawn" also is the /etc/ttytype file correctly set to "ansi" for the port and not "dumb" or something else. 3. Is the cable correct: DB9-DB25: 2-3, 3-2, 4-20, 5-7; DB9 to DB9: 2-3, 3-2, 4-4, 5-5 4. Is the port on the Windows machine set to XON/XOFF protocol.
Provided the ports are good at each end this should have you communicating.
