Try connecting to the aux port. Sounds like the last user may have typed NO
EXEC on the console line. The other option is to set the boot registers to
ignore NVram config file.
rom>o/r 0x2142
rom>i
that will insure that no config settings are screwed up.
Hope this helps.

Also try setting your stop bits to 2. If you read the 2500 manual, the
required terminal settings are 9600,N,8,2
I had one router that wouldn't work one 1 stop bit (could view bootup,
but wouldn't take keyboard input), set it to 2 and it worked fine. Could
be the version of boot rom or something...

I'm wondering if I have a broken 2501...
I got this second-hand from an unreliable source, but it was
cheap. When I console in to it, I enter the CTRL-BREAK to recover the
password, this works fine and I get
the > prompt. But then the keyboard locks up and I cannot
type anything in. Also when I console into it and allow it to startup
regularly, it freezes on the line "Serial 1
- State - Administratively Down." I can't seem to get to any
screen where I can type something in, I was thinking about updating the
IOS, but that won't work either.
Anyone have any ideas of what is wrong or what I can do? Or am I
just another sad story of "Buyer Beware"?
