No, I had the same problems some days ago and couldn't fix them
with the original drivers. I thing they have a bug handling
lines with modem control.....was discussed here for a long time !

The solution is installing the FAS 2.07 (don't know if this is
the latest revision ?) serial drivers. I also don't have problems
runnig my terminal with 19200 baud anymore.......
