Tpdd protocol doesn't do any flow control. It's purely request/response.

It does do a cable check dtr/dsr.

TSDOS itself has cable check, and timeout issues in some cases.

I recommend to loop back dtr/DSR if your device cannot assert DSR and use
teeny. It has no timeout issues. Also there are versions of tsdos to work
around timeout issues.

I just suggest to try with TEENY as a diagnostic.
