Going to DOS from any communications program
that uses the 850 R: handler is big trouble.
DUP.SYS loads right over the handler itself, so
that when you return to the program the R: device
is gone. 
  If you're using OS/A+, DOS XL, or SpartaDOS these
caveats may not apply. But it sure occurs with
Atari DOS 2.X
