I'm using an old laptop, it was running 10.3 i386 version only in terminal mode. I use it to connect make a serial connection from usb port (cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -s 115200 && screen) to a pfSense appliance.
The pfSense appliance runs freebsd and recently it was updated to v11.3. I don't use the serial console connection often, a few times a year, maybe.
Lately it is giving me gibberish when connecting so I thought perhaps there was an issue between my laptop running v10.3 and pfSense running 11.3. I decided to update my laptop. I updated to i386 version 11.0 release p16
Now when I make my usb serial connection (using cu and screen) I get the menu on pfSense but when I request a shell connection in pfSense I get "resizewin: timeout reading from terminal" and this continually loops until I remove the usb cable. My resolution is VGA/16. Any ideas why I get resizewin timeouts?
