  No, there really is a major bug here.  We've got a 1000 & 2000
hooked up at 57000 and experience the same problem, alternating on
either side. This bug
never occurs on the first battle, but as soon as one player loses
all of his jets or hits escape, problems begin to pop up.  It would
appear that this problem is caused by starting and stopping
communications over the serial port.  Also, the enemy sometimes does
not appear on the opponents screen, nor on radar (not just radar
lock).
  If you really want to shake up your opponent, just let him think
you are playing level 1, (as he will be), but actually play level 0:
you will be invicible!
  I've seen this happen with two players, and it's not a pretty
sight when the other player figures out what is going on!
