More Dell 2950 woes.
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:

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?
Thanks,
Dan
