There is no difference if I connect through /dev/ttyU0 or /dev/cuaU0 and even 
through ttyU1 or cuaU1 (when second serial converter is connected)- same 
problem. I tried on other computer with FreeBSD 6.1 and 7.0-STABLE snapshot 
from march- same results.

Something is broken on FreeBSD side- strange thing is that when I turn power 
down on cisco box and turn in on again then I see scrolling text from cisco 
gear but there is no feedback to keyboard activity. How to debug this issue?
