   I don't think Netfoss supports UART emulation, so I'm not suprised that test   
   doesn't work with Netfoss. The door *should* run full speed with either UART   
   or FOSSIL virtualization under Synchronet. FOSSIL is usually better/faster   
   (supports block data transfer), but occasionally there's a door or door kit   
   that works better via UART. I have Lunatix configured for FOSSIL I/O here on   
   Vertrauen and (at least on Win7-32), it's running full speed with that   
   configuration.

   Well it might be a work around, but not a solution. If I can reproduce the   
   issue, I can fix it, but so far, no luck. I'll try with a fresh install of   
   Synchronet on a new OS image and see how it performs (with FOSSIL I/O).
