It sounds as though the configuration on the terminal server isn't quite
right. I had similar loads of crap show up in my logs when I was figuring
out how to wire mine up. :)
Off the top of my head, make sure the device and the terminal server agree
on connection parameters (CTS/DTS, XON/XOFF, etc.) and DON'T accept
connections from the router (i.e. connections are only made from the
terminal server to the device, not bidirectionally). (That's a good idea
anyway, since if someone compromises the router, you don't want them to be
able to hop on your out of band network. Never heard of this happening,
but it's theoretically possible.)

Ah yes, we have most most of our routers connected to out of band
routers. What can I do to stop this? I'm upgrading to 0.8.1 now just in
case.

Two of them that I've been able to determine are Cisco 7206VXRs running
IOS 12.1(8a)E. Maybe those are the only two that are generating all
those errors. I can't tell exactly what router / device is doing what
since RADIUS is reporting just the subnet group.
