It's worth keeping that echo mess in mind.  I spent way too much time chasing 
one the other day.

For each of my toys with a serial port, I keep a little text file with chunks 
of handy text that I can cut and paste.  Usually the top line sets up the 
serial port.

I think something changed recently, but I'm not sure what/where.  I've had to 
add -echo to a few of those lines.  Maybe newer releases of Linux/Fedora 
default to echo on.  Maybe I'm using a new chip with a driver that defaults 
to echo on.  Maybe it's always been this way and I just got lucky in the 
past.  ...
