   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...
