Hi, Same pattern of garbage when pressing a key usually means wrong speed in most cases, or parity/stop/start/data bits. It could be your serial port or your modem at your end or remote end. Next time try and use -s 115200 with cu. That would set the serial port speed at 115200 and see what happens.
