Jerry, The source for the serial port interface on the PowerSDR side can be found in the Source\Console\CAT\SerialPort folder. We would be happy to have more eyes on this code as we have not yet been able to find the source of this particular bug. We have added numerous patches that have not completely fixed the issue.
