I am not sure whether "Hyperterminal" is available on later versions of Windows. It certainly was on XP. You will need a 9 pin D type serial cable connected to the serial port on the laptop and the S1 (I believe this is the correct port) port on the RS/6000. It is best to try setting the serial connection properties to:
8, none, 1 with a port speed of 9600. If this gives nonsense on the screen then try 19,200 as the port speed.
I have just looked up the serial terminal for Windows Vista and Seven, for information follow this link:
