	I had the same problem when I used my PC as a console for my 
4/110.  It appears that after this point in the init, the character 
stream switches from 8N1 to 7E1 (change to 7E1 after the garbage appears 
and you'll be able to read it) and then back to 8N1.  I have no idea 
what's causing this, but it seems to work fine on my system once it gets 
past this point.
