I've had the same problem, and I don't think it is related to the VT52 emulator
itself since the same thing has happened while using the xmodem program emulator
as well as with the desktop emulator. I'll have finished a call and want to
dial another, but the ATDP 1234567 does not echo on the screen. Turning the
modem off and on does nothing, so I have to hit the reset. I'm using a Volks
12 and 520ST. Does anybody in net.land know what's going on here??
