Richey Is it possible that this router has been configured with "no exec" under the console port? I have seen people do this when they meant no exec-timeout. No exec on the console will produce the symptoms that you describe in which you can see syslog messages displayed but can not enter any commands. Is it possible to telnet/SSH to the router and check the config? Or the password recovery procedure to ignore the startup config would be a way to get around it if this is the problem.

I can't seem to come up with the right keyword combination to google this. I've got a 7206VXR with an NPE-400 and an I/O 2FE/E card. Using a Belkin USB to Serial adaptor I can watch the router boot and get to the Press Return to get Started prompt. After I hit return the interfaces go up and then admin down. After that I can't get anything out of the console. I can insert and remove a DS3 card and I will see a message saying the card was inserted and removed but I can't interact with the box. I've connected to a 3550 I have laying here and I am able to get a console session going with it. Does anyone have any ideas on this one? Everything I am googleing relates to the router crashing or hanging which this one does not seem to do.
