1) RiscOS3 is not guaranteed to work at more than 2400 baud because of
interrupt latency problems. Try again at that speed.

2) The fact that it works in one direction, and not the other strongly
implies that you might not be aware that split baud rate operation is
not possible on the A4 - it uses the same send and receive rates.
