- This sounds like a you have your tty set for cbreak mode and/or echo off.
- Assuming that you are using csh, type stty -cbreak echo....this should
- set it to cooked mode and give echo your input.....I think that you are
- probably just in echo off mode....so stty echo would work too.

- Can't help you with this one...sounds like it could be a problem with the
- port or the config....hard to say...as I am not very versed with serial
- port stuff and AUX...
