If i refer to the Maxim datasheet...

there's indeed a pull-down resistor... mmm for the TI one, i guess it's the same.
mmm... Hyperterminal could be the cause...
- did you disable the handshaking?
- What about if you use MicroCode Studio Serial Communicator instead?
- Is your MCLR pin is tied to VCC via resistor?
- What about if you use the original solution (resistor instead of capacitor)?
I bet on the Handshake idea now.
