I'm not a Windows user, but it sounds to me that the problem is
likely with the AlphaCom terminal emulator as everthing else is
the same. Have you checked to see if there's a newer version?
My clients running FilePro are usually running Anzio or Putty,
and I haven't heard of problems with either of these.
