I don’t touch the console - VVP stops reading from the VP2 when it gets into this condition after logging the ‘Output buffer too small’ error, which happens after WL Bulletin closes. It was an additional observation to go with the above.
Again - this is all new after switching to TCP/IP configurations in WL and WD after successfully using virtual serial ports for 3.5 years previously. I’m right now trying to find some time to re-attempt virtual serial ports but I’ve noted others are using TCP/IP in their configurations apparently without issues.
