I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem with a dell
latitude and consoling in to some 2900 switches.
On some it worked fine and on others the switch would lock up and reboot as
soon as I unplugged the console cable.
Anyway, I called TAC and the engineer said that this was a known issue
between Dell's and another manufacture ( I can't remember the name but it
could have been toshiba). He said it was an issue with the way the laptops
handle flow control through the com port. To get around this issue he
suggested to have hyperterm running before plugging the console cable in and
to disconnect the cable before closing hyperterm.
The tac engineer couldn't explain to me why some 2900's behaved this way and
other's didn't, but his suggestion worked.
Anyway, good luck.
Regards
R.
