Sounds like you might have that port set to /notypeahead.  SET HOST/DTE
won't work with /notypeahead set.  The best thing I've found to do in
this case is to leave the permanent characteristic set to /notypeahead,
then allocate the device when you want to use it, and then set
it to /typeahead (without using /perm).  Then, when you deallocate 
the device, it will fall back to /notypeahead.
