Sounds like we (I) need to create a debug version of NEWDOS to figure
out where it is getting lost or something.

Great idea! Let me go try that...
Doing this caused it to work once! I went to go fish some RAM files out of a
Rex backup and upon returning to NEWDOS: hang again.
Cold resetting and re-re-loading to REX didn't restore the functionality, nor
did restarting my TPDD emulator.
The fact that it works once suggests there's some kind of state change
somewhere along the line, but I'm not clear where. I've tried resetting the
state of LaddieAlpha (which was the only persistent thing between attempts) at
each step, but it doesn't change the story.
If I can get it back into "work once" mode I'll try to see if the causal action
is invoking rexmgr, which is common to all these tries.

Maybe try re-programming NEWDOS to your REX?

Try resetting everything and then running NEWDOS first instead of TS-DOS.
Alas, no joy on this approach either, with either LaddieAlpha or dlplus running
at the other end. Flipping to a vanilla rom (Or one of Kurt's ROMs) after
resetting (warm or cold) works fine, so whatever's not quite right with my rig
it's only NEWDOS that doesn't like it, whether NEWDOS goes first or second.
I'm mystified here.
I've long since lost my RS-232 breakout box (by a good couple of decades), so
the diagnostic information I can offer is only circumstantial at this point.
