I've never seen "hello" and "bye" messages from Hyperterminal, ever,
and I have null MODEMed NComm, Term and Hyperterm (successfully too).
Are those words printed in the terminal window, sound files, or pop-up
requesters?
In HyperTerminal 5.0 (free upgrade from Hilgraeve), ZMODEM, etc, can
be chosen when you pick the "send file" option in the "transfer" menu.
You get a gadget for picking the file, and a list of transfer methods.
Likewise with the "receive file" option.

I'd suggest starting at a slower baud rate, and see if that helps.
Sometimes it's possible to establish a connection, at a fast rate,
then have it fail when you try to do anything else, confusing the
issue.
I was using a null MODEM driver on the PC, and a normal (properly
wired) null MODEM lead between the computer. I initially had trouble
with a crummy lead (it didn't connect enough of the signals between
computers), so I built my own. Those RS-232 breakout boxes sold by
places like Tandy / Radio Shack are good for sorting these things out,
if you don't feel like soldering plugs to cables.
Another problem, I noticed, were how different terminals handled
carrier detection, in this mode. It may be worth investigating any
"ignore carrier detect" options, in your terminal software.
