Where is the vital info about the cabling, which Peter raised ?
Or is this just looking at the ser-chip's status registers (or even the
Tx & Rx buffers) to see what it hopes to send and what it thinks it
received ?

I think Peter, and definately I, want to monitor what is really
happening outside of the machine.

The first job for me to evaluate the 'Aos' source was:
Edit.Search "nstall" ==
	AosModules.InstallTermHandler(Finalize);

This tells me nothing.   Is it uninstalled after the job ?
Is the problem which n-o (ver 2001) that V24.Panel and the dialer
must 'release' the ser-port for the other to use it, still problematic ?

Perhaps there are also other people who would appreciate a
comprehensive tutorial on "tasking in n-o" ?
