I and another person have had similar problems Tim.  I investigated, and
found very high latency is the problem.  The PI's software USB coupled with
a cheap-o USB->RS232 do-hicky make for horrible latency.  So latent the DW
server times out.  Every thing got peachy after I upped my drivewire
server's timeout.   I don't know how to do this in Aaron's java based
server though :(  I used William's 'lwwire' server to make it work.
