[cisco-voip] USB Serial Adapter for Console Port

[Vince Loschiavo]

Yes.  It is quite simple actually. 
Set your baud rate to 1200 baud and hold down your space bar to send a break. 

Apparently this is equivalent to sending a break at 9600 baud.

Subject: [cisco-voip] USB Serial Adapter for Console Port

I just sat here and spent the last couple of hours banging my head
against a wall trying to work out why I couldn't break the boot
sequence on a router to do a password reset when I finally discovered
that it was my USB serial adapter (Belkin F5U109). Apparently this
device is incapable of sending a break signal. As soon as I tried it
from a desktop with a real serial port it worked just fine. Does
anyone have a suggestion for a USB adapter that will work in this
situation.

Thanks,
Adam
