What I have seen is if the server takes too long to respond, tsdos will time out and given an error. I’ve never seen anything respond too fast for it. The way the communication works for tpdd is the client sends a small request, and sits and waits for a small response. The client cannot be overrun by responses because it set the pace by how fast it makes new requests. The weird thing about what you’ve been describing is it seems like there is definitely data corruption happening. I don’t see much of that. When I saw it it was because the rs232 cable itself was flaky, in particular, the signal ground wire. If you have multiple cables or laptops, particularly known good ones, it would be good to start swapping parts. — John.
