Hopefully I will not get flamed, I tried doing searchs but I'm still having problems.  Actually I have two.  First off, I succussfully was able to bake my spare 60 gb harddrive with no problems, but it shows up as 37 hours on basic.  Is this normal?  And when first connected it dials in and does a complete setup, I take this to be normal.

Now, my understanding is that after it's baked, the bash prompt is turned on.  But, I haven't been able to connect to it.  I made a serial cable from a diagram from Hinsdales site (checked it about a dozen times, its ok).  I'm using a null modem adapter, I've set up hyperterminal as seen in many postings: Choose proper com port, bps = 9600, db = 8, parity = none, sb = 1, and fc = none and also tried all the settings in this field.  Now, I know when it powers up you have to hit enter, just not for sure when, but I've tried at various points.

Hopefully someone can help me or point me in the right direction. TIA
