minicom and Cisco equipment issues

[Kihara Muriithi]

Hi pals,
 I wonder if someone have seen this problem before. I have not been able to
use a usb-serial cable to get access to Cisco equipment. I am sure minicom
is properly configured as I have used the same setting that I used on
another box that works well with Ciscos. The main difference is the serial
port. One has a real serial port while the other one emulate a serial port
through a USB port.
  The connection seems solid as I can see some Cisco CDP error message
mixed up with a lot of gibberish on the console. I however can not interact
with the console, and the only way out of it seem to kill the console. The
device node is properly created, the kernel notice the interface insertion
well -as inferred from the dmesg. I am at a loss at where else I can look
for likely issue with this setup. Have someone encountered it and what was
the solution? Advice

Thanks
William
