Any chance it's tip on another unix box? I have seen people try to use it and have exactly this problem. I think it is either a CR/LF issue, or something to do with turning off the echo. Anyway, I have gotten around it by using cu (cu -l /dev/modem -s 115200). User PPP's term mode seems to work also. If you're not using tip, it might still be a similar problem.. try another terminal program, or try fiddling with the CR/LF translation settings.
