can someone help me? !!
thanks

Please try with the generic-pc-serial version of m0n0wall instead and let us know if that works.

generic-pc-serial-1.34.img

with generic-pc-serial-1.34.img in the Hyperterminal I do not see anything , even the writing of the previous post 

Any chance of trying the latest 1.8.1 beta? I'm out of suggestions otherwise.

Check the port settings... I beleve that they are 115200 not 9600 8-n-1  they FB is only 9600 during bios.

I found the problem! 4 capacitors broken !
I have replaced and now works

Were they swollen or burst? I had a machine go bad that way but replacing the caps didn't save it.

Fairly common problem on old hardware of a certain period caused by defective electrolyte.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_capacitors
 

slightly swollen...for this I have not noticed
