Having no experience with this specific problem I will just confirm
a few of your suggestions.  With what little experience I have had
with an octal board, I believe this is your biggest problem.  If you
can scrounge up a HPSIO you will be able to run at 19200 Baud as
as well as possibly eliminating your hang up problem.
