            Bug ID: 224741
           Summary: "cu" does not honour "-h" flag for local echo i.e.

(Likely affects everyone who tries to use it)

Yes, Virginia, some devices still have a serial port...

aneurin% cu -h -l cuau0
can't open log file /var/log/aculog.
Connected
(Tap tap tappity-tap) =3D> nothing echoed, but a response is received e.g. =
when
typing "MDL<CR>":

MDL,UBCD396XT<CR>  (It's a Uniden UBCD396XT trunking radio scanner)

Type "POF" (for power off): no echo, but responds with "POF,OK" and *click*=
 :-)

The serial port works because I can control something plugged into it, but =
not
having anything echoed back, despite the "-h" flag, makes life a bit diffic=
ult.

Hardly a show-stopper I know, but it would be nice if something worked as
documented.  No, I don't have source code, as the disk is too small, otherw=
ise
I'd fix it myself and submit a patch.
