Thanks for the info guys. It's all rather puzzling actually because
MSK goes some lengths to "reset" the UART before starting tests. That's an
artifact of dealing with the new-breed of internal modems. Maybe it is a
bug in the Windows comm.drv emulator. If so trying the Delrina driver might
help: copy on netlab2.usu.edu, cd drivers, wfxcom.zip.
