Hi Guys
I have been going crazy trying to get a reverse telnet session from my 1841 aux port to another 1841 console port and am hoping someone can advise me as to what to try next.
Physically i am set up with a rollover cable (1 - 8, 2 - 7 etc) from the aux port of one router to the console of another (both 1841's) i have tested this with my cable tester so i know this is not the problem.
Here is my version info
Cisco IOS Software, 1841 Software (C1841-IPBASE-M), Version 12.4(7d), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

R_FAN uptime is 21 minutes
System returned to ROM by reload at 18:48:52 UTC Fri Mar 22 2013
System image file is "flash:c1841-ipbase-mz.124-7d.bin"
My config is as follows
ip host router 2001 1.1.1.1
interface Loopback0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
line aux 0
no exec-banner
modem InOut
no exec
transport preferred none
transport input all
transport output telnet
my aux line is on line 1 so i am entering telnet 1.1.1.1. 2001
R_FAN#show line

Line(s) not in async mode -or- with no hardware support:
2-193
And here is my result
R_FAN#telnet 1.1.1.1 2001
Trying 1.1.1.1, 2001 ... Open
if i then manually reboot the router to which i am trying to rev telnet to, i can see all the boot process fine but i cannot reach the "command prompt"
I have opened a hyper terminal session on my laptop and connected to the aux port and when i do this what ever i type is being inputted onto the router i reverse telnetted from but if i type from the router i am rev telnetting from i don't receive anything on my laptop.
So i have opened the session but i am unable to input any commands and only way to get back is to ctrl shift 6 x and clear the line.
This to me indicates i am getting traffic flow in one direction only is there any other configuration i am missing or is there a known ios bug ?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Graham
