I use serial ports to manage my FreeBSD machines remotely. I've never had any problems until now. I've installed FreeBSD 6.2 on a Dell 2950. The install goes without problems over the serial port. After the reboot, I get the typical: FreeBSD/i386 (test.host.net) (ttyd0) login: and I can log in just fine. If I disconnect and come back later (sometimes), or if I hit return without entering a login name (always) it starts spitting out junk like: nooo~:Woo{;>6(|uww~now~nou})|t}}t9- I can log in blind, but everything is scrambled. Here is what I see after logging in: nooo~:ro}Zqsswv~?Nmswtloooo~:t|}}msr 1115?;5>:3ontt}}t=Koy{{oo| t(kk)19;??2077t|mefvwgSWdproogw~/Koy{{oo| t(kk)17?=,1998<,199;?=99>>,1998<,199<,1999=,199;>,19;?,199==* t| merwggo~wsoot|meuowws{}}ofccmmoo~oio.lllr{oo| wsrwwwwwen/NvwegSWd.>?WMMESWe({_]p#3::fv{ijkon1331;:5?;30uUWc227?_wmooometovwegSWe-Jggvwesweokoogtugkikcmlswupv|,puesweuwwet|mefooooogrwwwsg?oo swgww{}taev{{mwsaonuuteuuedewrsuuannomu}oonforlllrwmmeswwsaswo* auth|ttz?/wnvwegSWnowo~mesww/--amwyycoow}|tt|meeWSUUaswgw}ooo* forywrrwmmessfo{swtassi}wwspteuuedfvwuuuo~}/oo t|mehiefoookaondfGQqdgw}mo~wsasweauttttz?/wwnvwegFnowo/aonl-* amooogw}|ht|meaimmooglm{ww,conbgeswesskmedbbgoooogto* h|tz?/wwnvwegSowowessko/. fft|medoocdm{wvrwu}oonhis* eeoniowumlmel,hm}wweamoawwmmcnmefomutuemon/ws{iswoogo/Kofyusw|llhiwweaaquuwwonorpronmmm,lmeswetukoet|meuutuutooojuomm-mg/,amooogw}taoyrwmmwwo~tewrmmwssggw,aedemmimli}}kss quuww}oontot|hquuww}oosFvwewWnowgmmimmoogi{w~. iofyuasngmmmmisrwihfvwegSWgwsdm{sw{ylmyu|,pueswerwggwrtotuehimwz??-omo}lpqggo. iofyuswenotfgmmmmiaw}|hmmoumlpqew,t}yue`mmonmoo//[ummyylouwwes{{{ow|ll89)torwmmo~vrt|meiowumlmuonaonmkoonoowuu}oonuu}mm}}.eem}t/ouwoootdoockiooget|i{slooonaonoogmmon/~uwww# If I exit things go back to normal until I disconnect for a while or hit return without a login name. I tried loading an older FreeBSD to see if it was a hardware issue or a FreeBSD issue, but my disks (mfi) aren't supported. It seems like the speed of the tty is getting out of sync. HELP! Any ideas?
