I haven't tried to use hyperterm for this but you should be able
to see something once you get the settings correct. I believe
they would be: baud 57K, 1 stop, no-parity, no handshaking.

But the mote message packets are binary and hyperterm generally
expects to see ASCII, so received data may appear to be garbage.
And you will not be able to send a message because the CRC field
needs to be calculated and some values escaped. See the much
referenced OctaveTech paper on the message format.

It's easier to use something like ListenRaw in the tools/java tree.
