When I accidently hit two keys at the same time on my 1040ST, while using the VT52 emulator desk accessory, the serial port sometimes locks up. It will not send and most (but not all) of the time will not receive. On occasion, the host computer has continued to send data but my ST would not send, but on almost all (I would estimate 95% of the time) occasions both directions lock up. The system otherwise functions normally. The only way to solve the problem is to reboot. I have never had this happen with any ST telecommunications program other than the VT52 emulator, though I have on many occasions sat there banging away on two keys to try and make it happen. It is a repeatable problem with the VT52, however. Does anyone know why this happens? Has anyone else had this problem or is there something wrong with my machine? (unlikely, because all other programs work fine.) Is there a fix for this, like a new version of the VT52? Thanks...
