Doug, I would connect a terminal to the console port on the rear of the unit
on the source side (where the file(s) are coming from), and set up the monitor
modes to performance and error modes. The things to look for are re-transmits
on the link side(probably not your problem here) and multilink q's filling up
(which probably is your problem). 9600 baud is really slow for what you are
attempting to do - I always spec a 56k/64k DDS type link for this type of
connection.
