Normally one dials from Windows to UNIX, not the other way around. Windows
is not designed or intended to be accessed remotely. While this might be
possible with third-party products (like Kermit 95) that include a "host
mode":

I have no idea whether it can be done with Hyperterminal.
Also, using Zmodem through C-Kermit introduces a whole new layer of
complexity (interfacing with external protocols). See:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/faq-c-ext.html
for details. Although I can't vouch for the Kermit protocol implementation
in Hyperterminal, I'd suggest that you start with Kermit protocol, and then
if you find it not fast enough, either (a) replace Hyperterminal by K-95,
or (b) start your hunt for a Zmodem program for SunOS that you can legally
use as an external protocol.
