The >>'<< are not send. But you are right, there must me something in the
string that the parser  doesn't like.
In Telnet I see, when I sent string's from my programm, only 'INFO GA N 28 0
1'#$A
but when I sent from simpleclient 'nset 29' I see
'INFO GA N 28 0 1'#$A
'INFO GA N 28 0 0'#$A
And I can do this as often as I want, it keeps sending feedback.
Ones the feedback stops comming because of the misbehaviour of my program it
does restart when I start sending 'nset 29' from simpleclient.
Why does it only blok one switch? Strange or perhaps not.

When I enable debug in srcp.c as you descriped is it then possible to see
what string comes in at Erddcd? Like to know what I an sending. The strange
thing is that the switches are working.
The same thing I do for loco commands and Feedback works fine there. Like to
know what difference there is in the string's I'm sending?
Where should I put that -D_DEBUG_ ?
