Well, I don't know if I can remember the details well enough to be coherent,
but what it amounts to is that for each SCF device, there may be an assigned
'echo' device - usually itself. So when something appears on that device's
input, if the ECHO path option is set, the character will be sent to the echo
device's path (again, usually the same device). This is how a modem user
logging into your machine would see his typing. In your case, your 'modem user'
was your MODEM, who was happily sending command echo's back to you, and was
then haveing T1 echo them back out, and so the loop went.
