I'm a newbie to FreeBSD so I don't know exactly where you should check. However, it appears to me that some communication parameter is not the same on both sides of your connection. When I have seen "garbage" output in the past, it usually has to do with 8 bit communication on one side and 7 bit communication on the other side. Also check parity and stop bit settings.
