I don't know if this is the same problem, but I used to log into an IBM 
system a while back through a series/1 front end.  At first it would
only accept some characters - this happened before I selected my terminal
type: Vt100 came out as t100 (the v didn't come through).

To make a long story short, I solved the problem by coming in with even
parity instead of no parity.  Maybe you have the reverse problem.  Try
dialing in with no parity and 8 bits, or even odd or space parity.  Also
play with the stop bits.  They might be set to some silly number like 2
for some reason.  These are all functions of the way the line is set up - 
they could be just about anything - depends on the mood of the installer.

Hope this helps.
