excuse the ignorance.

I have a cable from my serial port on my pc to the serial port on my Sun Spar 5.

I am using hyperterminal which only gives me the options to use com3
I connect (at least I think so) and I see nothing not even garbage.

any idea how to connect to the console via a pc ?

any help greatly appreciated.
