I have the same problem to our Pyramid.  I am not sure, but I have the 
theory that if I don't have the screen maximized, but am operating in
24x80 size, that it doesn't hang up.  I think that perhaps it is related
to X-on X-off.  Something like the PC getting an X-off and then there
is no way to convince it to start sending again.  I'm still trying to
determine whether being in 24x80 allows it to clear the X-off if you
click on a different window and then back onto WinQVT.

In any case I haven't registered my copy yet, because I don't trust a
shareware publisher to fix bugs like that, and it isn't worth my money
if the bugs aren't going to be fixed.  When I see a version that works
right I will be happy to pay the registration.  Also, I am waiting for
Windows 3.0, and will want it to work right with 3.0...
