Sounds a little like it might have something to do with flow control. Have
you already tried toggling different flow control settings ? Usually
gibberish means the devices are talking but the characters are not properly
synchronized from one device  to the other. Let us know how it works out.

Subject: 804 problems after 'erase startup' and reload


Was going to let a friend reconfigure an 804 from scratch.  We were
telnetted to a router and going out the AUX port with reverse telnet to the
804.  I copied my current config off to my tftp server, then did an 'erase
startup', 'show startup' (came back unconfigured), 'reload,' and said no to
save current config and confirmed reload.  Next thing we knew we got
jibberish (like we had the wrong baud rates).  AUX was set for 9600
(default) and was working fine before the reboot...  When I got physical
access to the 804, I tried with direct console access from my laptop.  Same
thing, 9600,8,n,1 just gave me jibberish.  I tried all other baud rates Tera
Term Pro (my favorite free telnet/serial terminal program) supports
(100-115200) , as well as 7,e,1 at a random number of baud rates, etc.  Even
went to try from Hyperterminal, no luck there either at 9600 or 115200 (same
results).  Actually, the only thing that didn't give me jibberish was 115200
which just flashed the cursor but never moved it.  I tried issuing ESC,
CTRL+C & BREAK after power off/on with 9600 & 115200, no luck and same
results.

Any ideas out there?
