Reboot!

This looks like a flow of control problem where the port frezes waiting
for the output to drain but it has recieved an x-off (or cts has dropped,
if enabled).  There is a patch: 100194-02 that seems to fix this.
Unfortunately it seems to have the side effect that the local designation
in /etc/ttytype does not work on the higher numbered alm ports.  If this
was a tip it could be the cts problem in which case you cna change your
remote entry to remove the "hf" designation, if present.

If you want to try to free the port without rebooting you can connect a
terminal with a null modem at the proper baud rate (if you know what it
is) and type a CNTR-Q (or assert the cts line, as apropriate).
