Try increasing the line speed to 19200, 57600, etc. Chances are the switch is increasing throughput on the serial line for the console session. Parity, start, stop bits rarely change.

I am using 8N1 and I start by leaving minicom listening and then reboot the switch. Switch comes up and I see it's ROM decompress and post, then asks me to hit enter twice to confirm speed test. However minicom doesn't seem to be responding to any keystrokes. I believe the terminal emulation is set to VT102. The other item that seems odd is that even though I can see output from the switch minicom still says 'offline' I know my settings are correct since I've used hyperterm to get it working before, I'm assuming I just am not understanding a setting or behavior of minicom. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: This message, including all attachments, is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
