I think that I can help. I've connected to several Ciscos with serial
cable, mostly though using M$ HyperTerminal. I _have_ connected with
one older Cisco, an IGS, using minicom.

We're not anti-RedHat, just pro-Debian. We don't think that Debian
is perfect, but we're trying. RedHat is merely less so. ;{>

Changing to ttyS1 won't help you if you are connected to ttyS3.
The possible issues are: serial cabling, speed, and protocol.
The newer Ciscos have a serial port connecter adapter and special cable
to go to their RJ connecter, while older ones have a DB25 connector,
using
standard RS232c configuration. With which are you wrestling?
Do you have the docs for your router? What speed, number of bits,
parity,
and number of stop bits are required for your model? If you don't have
the
docs, you can get them from www.cisco.com .
