Keep in mind that the function of `tip' is to emulate an ASCII
terminal.  To do that, it places the terminal in raw mode, disabling
most of the tty settings.  When you type a line of text followed by
[Enter], it sends the text followed by CR (0x0d).  The device at the
other end of the serial line should echo each of those characters,
including the CR.  If that device is another Unix system, its tty will
be in cooked mode.  That means that it will send a LF (0x0a) after the
CR.  The cursor on your terminal should first return to the left, and
then drop down one line.  A firmware device should be doing the same
thing.
