Get a different break key. Break sequence on many versions of Microsoft hyperterm are known to not work properly. 3rd party terminal emulators work better.
I use shift break with the emulator I got..
Maybr Ctrl + break?
Assuming you are using windows, download Hyperterminal Private Edition from
I use that will all my Cisco kit, and it works.

For me, Hyperterm == Hypercrap. It's actually quite bad. My favorites are:
TeraTerm (it's up to ver 4.2x these days) PuTTY
Tera Term has more functionality, but you can't beat PuTTY's single EXE convenience!
IVT is not bad and ZOC is OK too. I have them all but I keep coming back to TeraTerm and PuTTY.
The regular HyperTerm that comes with Windows has a few issues and isn't all that great.
The Personal edition is much improved and fixes a few bugs.
For basic vt-100 access, the PE version of HyperTerminal is quite adequate.
Download the update, you'll be happy you did.
Cheers!

I've had the updates for quite some time. It's still a pig of a software.
No cutting and pasting like in PuTTY, TeraTerm. And vt emulation sucks too!
