Trouble getting serial output from Ultra 10

Hi,
Iam trying to get make a serial connection to an Ultra 10 from my laptop. I've set the output to goto ttya in the nvram parameters. Iam using a db9 converter at the laptop end and a db25 converter at the ultra 10 end-I know the adapters are fine and so is the cable. Iam just not able to get it out on hyperterminal (Default settings-baud-9600). Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks !!

void XtAppSetTypeConverter(XtAppContext app_context, String from_type, String to_type, XtConverter converter, XtConvertArgList con- vert_args, Cardinal num_args, XtCacheType cache_type, XtDestructor destructor); void XtSetTypeConverter(String from_type, String to_type, XtConverter converter, XtConvertArgList convert_args, Cardinal num_args, XtCa- cheType cache_type, XtDestructor destructor); ARGUMENTS

XtAppSetTypeConverter registers the specified type converter in the single application context specified. If the same from_type and to_type are specified in multiple calls to either function, the most recent over- rides the previous ones. SEE ALSO
