For people who have the RT314 and have connected to the manager inteface via serial connection...

I messed up the configs of my router and cannot access my manaager interface from FTP. HTTP or Telnet. So now i went out and got a serial cable and proceeded to access the manager interface.

However, I got to the power cycle part and the router showed the RAM booting, and then it says press any key to enter the debug screen, and so i press a random key, but the thing just keeps going and doesn't enter the debug screen. then when it stops it says press ENTER to continu so i press enter and nothing happens.

So my questions are:

Is my router completely messed up beyond repair?
Is there somthing wrong with my Terminal Emualtion PRogram (I use HyperTerminal)?
Do I have the correct serial cable?

For those who have done the serial connection can you give me some advice, I desperately need this router back up...
