Drivers were up to date, installing FF 4 when FF3 crashed Windows had no effect. Deleted all fonts from the command line and then copied them back from a previous backup. So far this seems to have worked, no more crashes for the last hour or so. I wonder how common this problem is...

Both COM ports are set to 115200 as they have always been, no change there. I have tried other settings, but not exhaustively. I've also tried asymmetric settings, which only had the effect that the connection did not work at all. A colleague here tried to connect a few of his computers with my...
