Robert,
I would suspent the terminal isn't configured correctly for the
serial connection. Is it set up for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity,
1 stop bit?

I'm pretty sure you have the baud rate correct since you get a login
prompt. I'm not sure all the other things must be correct to get 
that far.

I'm not familiar with "HP700 serial terminal". But all the HP terminals
I've worked with in the past also support vt100 emulation mode. You
probably want to set that too.
