I'd guess a Background port or lock of some sort is being maintained on
the serial port in a dormant state while the Minstrel is inserted.
Programmatically, I'd try doing an explicit NetLibClose followed by
SrmClose to force the system to flush buffers and release any remaining
locks on the ports in questions. A similar sort of cleanup undoubtedly
happens when the Minstrel is pulled from the Springboard slot.
