It all boils down to the 8-line asynchs crap out when they are
hit with excessive framing errors..  We have had 16 experimental
rom sets (in the 8las's) now for almost 2 months... which
fixes that bug.. and 99.9% of our 8-line problems went away..!!
The acid test is to take a 19.2K port and stuff it into a 9600 baud
port, turn them both on and stuff chars at each side.. which 
makes zillions of forced framing errors.. The old firmware
will crap out in 1/4 sec or so.. We have run the new stuff 
in the same conditions for around 1/2 hour with no problems.

For further details see your Gould C.E.  If he hasn't heard of this,
have him ask Ernie McMullen or Walt Pasko at Central Support
(305) 797-5831.  This may not be an offical ECO yet..
