Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2016-10-06 16:01:29 CEST 
The serial port redirection often gets stuck in some kind of echo loop with devices, making it completely useless. This can be seen with the simple test command:

    screen $TLSESSIONDATA/dev/ttyS0

Disabling echo in the remote side (e.g. the modem) avoids the issue.

The bug appears often, but not always. Not sure what the conditions are.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2016-10-06 16:07:13 CEST 
The client doesn't seem to matter as I've seen this on Linux and Windows, and I've seen it both on "real" ports and USB ones.
Comment 2 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-17 10:23:12 CEST 
Serial port redirection has been removed in bug 6048.
