Agree, there is something really messed-up with OS-X's "screen" command. I just wasted a couple hours playing with it, for me OS-X's screen was sending extraneous <RETURN>'s. Additionally AstLinux works fine :-) using screen on AstLinux with a supported USB to serial dongle "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 19200" from a terminal session worked, kind of crazy but good to know. I also tried minicom (v2.7) on my Chromebook (in developer mode) "minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -v 19200" worked fine.
