How often will you be talking to your system via the uart? If the answer is alot you may want to create your own software to talk to it. Then you can make it do whatever you want (like file I/O for example).

What were your connection settings in Hyperterminal? Usually that program is stable and this sounds bad. If your bit 7 is set then I would expect those funny characters (part of the extended ASCII set).
