I also run T4 and use FlexNet instead of the more usual TFX or TFPCX driver.
FlexNet has what is called a 'frame sammler' in german which loosly translates
as being a buffer or frame collector, and it recovers from missed frames a lot
better.  The latest TFPCX also has a frame sammler.

One thing I have noticed with T4 is that sometimes, for no obvious reason,
one driver (TFX or TFPCX) will work far better than the other.  One will
receive perfectly and the other will receive poorly and will miss a lot of
frames and the will be a lot of 'reject' messages on the screen.  What works
perfectly on one computer misbehaves on another.

So my suggestions are:

1. If using TFX try using TFPCX, or vice versa.  Note that there are slight
differences between the two.

2. Try using FlexNet.  It is somewhat more complicated to set up but is well
worth it.  The SER12 baycom modem driver can be tricky as there are three
versions that I know of, and they have various quirks and advantages depending
on the UART chip.

I'll see if I have your email address and send you all the files I have as I
have experienced problems getting 7plus files forwarded via the BBS system.
Please send me your email address - I don't seem to have it.
If you don't have email, I'll try sending it using 7PLUS.

It's late in the evening and I'm under doctors orders to take it easy, so I'll
get onto it tomorrow.

73, David.
