Problem Restated: OPA0 on DS10L

Perhaps I was too terse on first go around, but am having problems
connecting to the OPA0 port. I have CONSOLE set to serial on all my nodes
so the second COM port is OPA0 and the first is TTA0 , as Fred kindly
explained a while back. AlphaServer DS10L 466 MHz running OpenVMS V7.3-1
OS has all the latest patches and the firware is Version 7.1
I ran the following tests below. The only test, which in my estimation was
normal was TEST 2, connecting from an XP1000. It is odd that TEST 1
was not normal, since here we were connecting from one port to the other
on same machine. Now I have used this method of connecting to the
console port from a COM port on W2k using HyperTerm successfully with
Pelicans, Miatas and XP1000s, so I think there is something wrong with
the DS10L serial ports.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
After a long while it gets the Username: prompt. On second
attempt after removing and reinserting cable it is normal
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXX TEST 5 Connect from W2K/COM1 to DS10L/OPA0 XXXXXXX
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Never connected. I also tried setting OPA0 to NOTYPE connecting
and then changing to TYPE_AHEAD. Also tried opening HyperTerm
and then connecting cable.
I am using standard Null modem cable wired (and tested) as follows
1 ----- 4
2 ----- 3
3 ----- 2
4 ----- 1,6
5 ----- 5
6 ----- 4
7 ----- 8
8 ----- 7
The settings on TTA0 and OPA0 are as follows
