I am hoping that someone can give me some suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this. I purchased a cisco 2509 to use as an access server. It is connected to my other routers through an Octal cable. When I attempt to connect to other system through the octal cable it appears to connect however I never receive a prompt to access the router I am attempting to connect to. R1 is up, it is connected to line 1 on the octal cable, and I can log in with a direct console connection
Router#R1 Trying R1 (100.1.1.1, 2001)... Open
But never any prompt to access R1. It just freezes there until I use CTRL-Shift-6, X However the session appears to be established
Router#sh session Conn Host Address Byte Idle Conn Name
- 1 R1 100.1.1.1 0 1 R1
it appears the lines are ready to use (I think)

My config is extremely basic however from what I can tell it should work
Router#sh ru Building configuration...

Where Do I go from here?
