Try different speeds on your terminal emulator. It sounds like the config
register may have gotten hosed. Did you recently do a password recovery
on this box?
Sometimes you can guess as to whether your speed is too high or too low
by the length of the lines of garbage.
What happens if you set your terminal up 9600 N-8-1 and power-cycle the
router, then send it a BREAK signal about 10 to 20 seconds after it starts
booting? Note: use a decent terminal emulator like TeraTerm or CRT, or
minicom for Linux. Hyperterminal is broken in various ways depending on
the version when it comes to sending a BREAK.

If you think it's trash, please deposit it in my trash can. I'll even
pay the postage. :-)
