I saw something similar (symptom-wise) with a serial console server  
and it wound up that I had to turn off hardware flow control in  
agetty.  I suspect it's a bad cable as five other machines work fine,  
but it's hundreds of miles away, and works with hardware flow control  
turned off, so there it is.

In agetty, I removed:

        -h     Enable hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control. It is left up  
to the application to disable software (XON/XOFF) flow protocol where  
appropriate.

so, maybe something like:

   stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -crtscts

would help?  Somebody who has actually tried this before might help  
on syntax.
