On his machine it seems that the problem repeats itself. The varying
of baud rate test (with monitoring of nps) was meant to eliminate
some possible causes (which could appear sporadic). Other system and auto232
settings ought to be varied as well. For finding the causes of problems there is
nothing better than finding a system which reproduces the problem reliably.

I am also curious whether there is somewhere an interface spec for DOS program
and the auto232 DOS driver. The file auto232p.zip (from gambitsoft) has only
windows protocol). You mentioned in one note here that Rebel communicates with
that DOS driver. I have not been able to find (on the web) the spec for that
communication, but with that spec (and the one for Windows), I could probably
write (in few hours with the TSR production tools I have) a small, reliable and
non-intrusive DOS device driver which would allow two auto232 compliant programs
(on DOS or windows) to play using that protocol.
