Looks pretty fine from the mgetty side.  DCD is set to "high", everything
else is as it should be.

Does it work if you use the standard serial ports (trying to nail down

No.  Mgetty is not running while the shell is active.  But test this by
entering "stty sane" and see whether that improves things.
