My apologies from posting this.  I must seem like a right newbie (and I am
to NT4!)

I found the solution, and the hardware inadequacies that were causing my
problems, as well as both hardware and software solutions.

FYI: The problem was due to two of my fast serial ports being on an ISA
card (salvaged from my last machine).  The matrox driver, by default relies
on PCI logic to control the loading of operations across the bus.

Harware fix: use PCI serial ports.

Software fix: in the matrox registry settings; set UserSynchronizeEngine to
1.
