[LOGic] Com port locks up still

[J. Wolf, K6JW]

   If you guys want to talk about a 9500, I've got SN#005 and lots of early 
experience. Feel free to e-mail me outside of this reflector if you want to 
chat. There's also a user's group on the Alpha site, by the way, and I think 
it's quite useful. Molly monitors it, so there's lots of direct input from 
Alpha.
