There seems to be a selective issue in pressing enter in some situations when using vSPCClient.
Scenario 1: MikroTik CHR
This can downloaded as an OVA for free from https://mikrotik.com/download (under the 'Cloud Hosted Router' section). This is a helpful test as this comes pre-configured to accept serial connections.
You can press enter when entering login information (the default is 'admin' and blank)... but you can't press enter when entering configuration commands at the CLI. However this only applies to vSPCClient and not when using telnet.
Using telnet from the same server running vSPCServer works... telnet localhost 50007
Using telnet from a desktop works... telnet vspcserver.domain.lan 50007
Using vSPCClient from the same server running vSPCServer doesn't work... vSPCClient test-chr-vm
Using vSPCClient from a desktop doesn't work... vSPCClient -s vspcserver.domain.lan test-chr-vm
Scenario 1: CentOS 7.8 trying to use nano
This is just some random CentOS 7.8 VM that we already had, and I just enabled serial on it with grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args='console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0' and rebooted it.
Pressing enter actually works at the normal shell prompt. However if you go into the 'nano' text editor, you'll find you can't press enter either, and it starts to do strange things. But again only when using vSPCClient.
