Hopefully someone here can give me some direction. I have been working on adding a RAS to my home Cisco lab. I purchased two 3640's, one is setup as the RAS with one NM-1E2W connected to a wireless bridge to bridge to my home wireless network and also has the NM-16A with an octal cable for the other equipment in my lab. To test I ran cable 1 from the NM-16A to the Console of the second 3640. The remote access configuration works, and I can connect to the second router, but I am unable to escape back to the RAS router to browse the sessions or connect to another line. I have attached the configuration from the RAS.
The only thing I've removed is the passwords from the config:
version 12.2
service timestamps debug uptime
service timestamps log uptime
service password-encryption

Started to take a look at this again this morning. Changed the escape character I am still not able to return to the remote access server. Erased both routers and restarted thinking it was a configuration issue, and based my config off of just the basic Cisco config found here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_configuration_example09186a008014f8e7.shtml
And there was no change.
Next thought was it was telnet client I was connecting with. Normally I use Putty, but I've also tried Teraterm pro, and Hyperterm Private Edition. Since the router establishes the connection and recognizes the NM-16a I would assume that it is not an IOS problem, but that would be my next thought.

Just reseated the octal cable and changed the escape-character back to default and it is working now.
