Have you tried the Modem Host command on the line with the 2501?

I thought I might try again with a slightly different explanation of the problem. The last explanation got me a lots of kind advice about how to setup and use a reverse telnet connection, but that's not what I need. I have 12 routers, mostly 25xx's with a couple 26xx's and a 4500, along with a Cat 5000. All of this equipment is connected to a 2511, which is serving as an access server. The 2511 is configured to provide reverse telnet connections into the console ports of my lab equipment. All of the 2511's asynch lines are configured the same: line 1 16 no exec modem InOut transport input all I am able to make a successful connection to all my equipment, except for one 2501. With this 2501, I get an open response when attempting the connection, but no further response to the connection. When I swap the cable connection with another piece of equipment, the problem follows the 2501, not the asych line on the 2511, leading me to believe the problem isn't the 2511 or the cable. I've telneted into the 2501 to do a show line con 0, and compared it to the console port on a working router, and I don't see any difference. The strange thing is, if I take the problem 2501 and connect the console port to my computer's com1 port using a standard blue console cable, I can connect to the port just fine! So my question is, what the difference between the 2511 2501 connection and the com1 port 2501 connection? And why does this difference only affect one router, and not the rest of the routers?
