HP terminals require special cables. Check HP's website

You probably need a null modem adapter, or a special cable. The
docs on serial connections in the freebsd handbook
(/usr/share/doc/handbook/book.txt) are quite good. I'd recommend
spending some time with them. Chapter 15. Serial Communications.
Good Luck
