Problem is when attached to a Cisco switch I had laying around I get seemily random garble output when accessing the console of a remote Cisco device. (e.g. "show run" will get a few garbled lines halfway through, Holding down Enter will produce some garbled text every few lines).
Can you configure the port (on the switch and the console server) for flow control? You might be experiencing an overflow issue if the CPU of the terminal server gets busy or a buffer gets full. Maybe RTS/CTS (if the cable has the pins) or even XON/XOFF (if it doesn't).
