I recently brought on Microport on my AT.  I continually got a 'sending set
param to clear error bit'  I don't know if this is the same problem you're
having, but anyhow, the fix was a beta test release from Microport.  System
runs quite nicely now.  Call Microport.  They're willing to help and they're
very good about it.  (And, hey, they even know what they're doing)
