[c-nsp] Console problems

[Richey]

I got to the root of the problem yesterday.  Someone had borrowed my
USB/Serial adaptor to connector to connect to what they thought was a serial
port on a power supply.    That port was not a serial port and had power on
certain pins which damaged the adaptor.  I was able to see messages coming
from the router but I could not  send anything to it.   The LEDs on the
device indicated that I was transmitting and receiving.  I guess LEDs come
before whatever component broke.

what is the terminal you are using? Try with other Terminals like putty,
hyperTerminal ... sometimes I faced the same issue with Cisco APs and
switched to HyperTerminal then everything was working fine.

I can't seem to come up with the right keyword combination to google this.
I've got a 7206VXR with an NPE-400 and an I/O 2FE/E card.  Using a Belkin
USB to Serial adaptor I can watch the router boot and get to the Press
Return to get Started prompt.  After I hit return the interfaces go up and
then admin down.  After that I can't get anything out of the console.   I
can insert and remove a DS3 card and I will see a message saying the card
was inserted and removed but I can't interact with the box.   I've connected
to a 3550 I have laying here and I am able to get a console session going
with it.     Does anyone have any ideas on this one?   Everything I am
googleing relates to the router crashing or hanging which this one does not
seem to do.
