Anyone experienced this type of issue when trying to set up reverse telnet session (within 2509)  to other routers console ports?  Here is the configuration I am using:

Current configuration:
!
version 11.3
no service password-encryption
!
hostname 2509_Terminal
!
!
username d privilege 15 p
ip host r2 2002 192.1.1.1
!
interface Loopback555
ip address 192.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
!
interface Ethernet0
ip address 172.20.0.2 255.255.0.0
!
interface Serial0
no ip address
no ip mroute-cache
shutdown
!
interface Serial1
no ip address
shutdown
!
ip classless
!
line con 0
line 1 8
no exec
transport input telnet
line aux 0
line vty 0 4
privilege level 15
login local
!
end

*****When debugging the telnet session I get this:

Telnet2: 1 1 251 1
TCP2: Telnet sent WILL ECHO (1)
Telnet2: 2 2 251 3
TCP2: Telnet sent WILL SUPPRESS-GA (3)
Telnet2: 80000 80000 253 24
TCP2: Telnet sent DO TTY-TYPE (24)
Telnet2: 10000000 10000000 253 31
TCP2: Telnet sent DO WINDOW-SIZE (31)
Telnet2: 40000000 40000000 253 44
TCP2: Telnet sent DO COMPORT (44)
Telnet0: Sent SB NAWS 80 24
comport option isn't valid on line type 1
TCP2: Telnet received DO ECHO (1)
TCP2: Telnet received DO SUPPRESS-GA (3)
TCP2: Telnet received WONT TTY-TYPE (24)
TCP2: Telnet sent DONT TTY-TYPE (24)
TCP2: Telnet received WILL WINDOW-SIZE (31)
Telnet2: recv SB NAWS 80 24
TCP2: Telnet received WONT COMPORT (44)
TCP2: Telnet sent DONT COMPORT (44)

I have tried everything at this point.  I'm beginning to wonder if it is hardware related now.  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
