Has anyone encountered this and/or know the fix? Yes, I've seen this many times on a 4/370 under 4.1.1. There is likely a background process running that is still attached to /dev/ttyp0. The fix is to kill the process and make sure that subsequent background processes are detached from the tty. Using fuser I can't see any process accessing the pty. Still no echo...
