Lewis,
You may want to check the pin-out on your cable.  I have had this problem before, and the pin-out was the problem.

Subject: [USR-TC] console to HiperARC

This is about the third time I have tried this and been to stupid to get it
done. I maight have even asked here once before. I am trying to configure a
HipaerARC for the first time. I plug in the 3Com cable to the rs232 port with
a null modem adapter on the computer side. I set dip 5 to ON. I see it go
through the whole mess, copyrights and all. It asks me  "Do you want to
continue with HiPer Quick Setup?". Which, of course I do.

When I try to answer it is as if the keyboard input is not there. All com
settings are correct. I see the data flow from the ARC. It just doesn't
respond to keyboard input. I thought it was my minicom so I tried
Hyperterminal ion windows. Same thing. Tried a new NIC, same thing. Tried the
original NIC, different NAC, same thing. If I set dip 5 back to default yes
all I get is the boot kernel OK and I still can't get to a CLI.

Does someone have any clues to this?
