The above cu cmd line worked great in connecting to the Catalyst 1900.

I did turn off flow control with "~%nostop", but it probably was already
off.

cu also probably uses 8 bits, no parity and one stop bit by default.

Thanks for the warning.  I used ssh to start an xterm and ran cu in the
xterm, thus avoiding the escape character issue altogether.

I'm now in the 1900's diagnostic console hoping to clear out the
password, so I can access management commands.
