Check your tty and terminal modes WHILE NN IS BUSY, i.e. from some other
tty type:
	stty everything > /dev/tty01
or
	stty -a > /dev/tty01

if /dev/tty01 is the one your using NN on.
Interesting things are parity and the `nohang/clocal' bit.
If your terminal has a local setup key, you might find out easily how it
thinks to communicate with the host.
