Bug Description

minicom, while connected to for example /dev/ttyUSB0 - displays incoming data.

*no* keystrokes are sent out.
When closing minicom - some data is sent (a TX led will flash shortly)
- the same hardware works fine with sercom, cutecom etc - but I miss minicom.
-Reproduced this problem on three computers. - not sure when it was introduced, but it worked before.

to reproduce, take any RS232 adapter and connect TX to RX, (or pin 2-3) - you should see what you write without local echo, or get double characters with local echo when TX is connected to RX

I seem to be getting this issue as well (on a US Robotics external USB modem). Then I did:

sudo apt-get remove modemmanager

After that I could start up minicom and enter modem commands (AT$, etc.) ok.
