...along with the keyboard, mouse, minicom/hyperterminal/putty/whatever app 
you are using to view the spiel from the serial console?

keyboards work fine, you just have not primed your console to use the 
keyboard as an input device for the TTY.  Unless you plan on hooking up a 
telewriter to the serial port I'm struggling to see why you would want a USB 
keyboard attached to it; thats what the serial port is there for.

Maybe if you could explain what problem is solved by strapping a full sized 
keyboard to your ts7800 we might be able to help.

Regards

Alex
