Looking for thoughts on this.

I have a Morrow MD3 I'm trying to use with my Roadrunner via serial terminal. The Roadrunner's terminal supposedly emulates VT100.

If I connect either device to my ThinkPad 380xd w/Hyperterminal.. (9600 baud, 8 bits, 2 stop bits, no handshaking) they communicate back and forth fine. But when connected to each other, while I receive incoming text no problem on the Roadrunner side, it will not send any alpha numeric characters out. All I can do is hit enter, and that comes back as a :2

I've tried every handshaking protocol it offers (none, ctrl, dtr, ctr+dtr, xon/xoff, non w/dtr).. doesn't seem to change. I feel like the problem is on the morrow side somewhere.
