This is rather odd. CLEANTXBUFFER should only be sent when a session
times out and this is happening within a second of the connect
attempt. I suppose it is possible that the CLEANTXBUFFER is from a
previous session, but it is still odd. I'll see if I can work out
what could be happening.
When this happens what does the TNC state show in the VARA driver
window?

Greetings.
I've been finding the radio stuck on the same frequency
lately. It's always the VARA port that is considered to be
still in use.? It happened again this morning, and below is
what's in the BBS log.? The radio is a Yaesu FTdx10.

Subsequent attempts to forward via VARA fail because the
port is not released.

Searching through the log for "

found an older instance where the same thing happened.

Sure enough, the next attempt to use VARA port 7 (14
minutes later) failed:

This looks like it's at least partially a VARA issue, but
it seems BPQ should still de-attach the port.
