If the cisco is expecting 9600 baud or better, enough consecutive zero-bits at 1200 baud would present enough line space to look like a break (albeit a snorter-than-RS232-specs one).  So yes, nulls would be good, or perhaps ^A.  Almost makes me want to find a windows laptop and go try it.  

Almost :-)
