What interface is the modem connected to? If you're dialing into the console port then you should turn off flowcontrol on the modem. You should use hardware flow control only if you're connecting to the AUX port.
I'm sure you've already checked this, but make sure the speed setting on the line matches the modem. The AUX and console ports have different default settings.

Problem is still driving me nuts is that all the characters are showing up as garbage (x~<`?z?33?)messed up stuff. I am using Hyperterm and have tryed with other programs as well. Has anyone been successful with dialing into routers that may have had the same problems? I'm using a USR modem set at 9600 baud flow control hardware Emulation is VT100 Thanks Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=26290&t=26287 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
