illegal message format-file transfer

i am trying to transfer a file using serial ports and direct cable connection using a null modem.  i am using hyperterminal for this transfer.
 
'send' system is 8250 xp pro; 'receive' system is win 98 on inspiron 3200 notebook.  both are set up as follows; 8,1,n, speed 9600.  both systems using com1.
 
each time, i get the message 'illegal message format' when trying to send or receive.  i have been unable to track down the cause of this message.  error message occurs regardless of sending system.
 
what causes the message 'illegal message format' in Hyperterminal??
