dp-2.2 vs Worldblazer

I've got dp-2.2beta runinng between two Sun3's running 4.1.1 using telebit
worldblazers and I'm seeing the following problem. If you generate a lot of
packet activity ie, rcp a file or bring up an X tool, the process generating
the activity will appear to hang or the whole session will hang. ie if i
do an rcp between machine 1 and machine 2 the rcp will hang on machine 1
after transferring about 25k. Most of the time I can still use other rsh's
through the link, but the one doing the rcp is dead. Sometimes only the one
process get's blocked and sometimes everything gets hangs. From what I`
understand,  the modem attached to machine 1 has it's send and receive lights
flashing where as the modem attached to machine 2 only has it's send light
flashing. To me this looks like a flow control problem, with a process losing
some packets an thus it get's hung waiting for an ACK. I don't understand 
though why the process does not recover. Also when the whole session is
hung I can't figure out why the send light is flashing on modem 1 and
the recieve is not flashing on modem 2.  The following are my register
setting:

WorldBlazer - SA - Version LA5.00W- Active Configuration
 B1  E1  L2  M1  P   Q2  V1  X1  Y0 
&C1 &D3 &G0 &J0 &L0 &Q0 &R0 &S3 &T4 &X0 
S000:1   S001=0   S002:255 S003=13  S004=10  S005=8   S006=2   S007:100
S008=2   S009=6   S010=14  S011=70  S012=50  S018=0   S025=5   S026=1

S056=17  S057=19  S058:2   S059=0   S060=0   S061:0   S062=15  S063=0  
S064=0   S068=255 S069=0   S090=0   S092=0   S093=8   S094=1   S100=0  
S104=0   S105=1   S111=255 S112=1   S151=4   S155=0   S180:3   S181=1  
S183=25  S190=1   S191=7   S253=10  S254=255 S255=255 
OK

I also set s50=7 s180=2 s190=4 when I initiate a call. I hope some one can
help me because so far dp works fine for simple interactive stuff, but
I cannot due X Windows or file transfer.

My worldblazer is configured with:

	&f3 s51=254 s58=0 s111=255 s180=2 s255=0 &w

When I dial out I do a:

	&f3 X2 s111=0


Let me know if that helps.
