Regarding UNIX dumb terminals

Respected members of the Forum,
This is my first post.

I have a few questions regarding dumb terminals and VT100 dumb terminal emulators.

I have to connect a few dumb terminals to an IRIX server

There are two options

1) Use Dumb terminals directly
2) Use a Terminal emulator like Hyperterminal.

All the dumb terminals will have to be connected with serial cabling.

Now I have connected a serial cable (DB9 pin) between my Windows PC and my SCO UNIX server on my home network before I really implement it in my work environment.However I am not able to connect to the UNIX server through the serial cable.

What I wanted to know from the respected members of the forum is that is there any problem in the cable, or is it necessary to have any special type of serial cable to connect the Windows server to my UNIX box.

Any help on this topic will be of great help to a UNIX newbie like me

Thanking you

Description
       These  subroutines generate graphic output in a device-independent manner.  See for a description of their effect.  The subroutine precedes
       the other subroutines as it opens the device for writing.  The subroutine flushes the output. The and routines are used by  the	lvp16  and
       hp7475a plotters only.

       String arguments to and are null-terminated and do not contain newlines.

       Many of these functions have additional options for different output devices.  They are accessed by the options as follows:

       -lplot	     device-independent graphics stream on standard output for filters

       -lplotaed     AED 512 color graphics terminal
