I have since tracked the problem down to a bug in the driver for the
smart serial card we are using. This bug did not exist in the microport
version of the driver, only the 386/ix version.  A number of people
wrote me and suggested that this could be the problem, Thanks.

I contacted the manufacturer of the board with a discription of the bug. 
They found the problem right away and are sending me a new version. 

Thanks to those who offered ideas.

Larry
