Very strange. You would expect NBU not to work, but I'm really puzzled over this
one. I don't know what to suggest, except, maybe, to re-install the whole thing,
or try on another computer. I successfully (AT WORK ONLY!) use 2 Windows
machines (Digital Celebris GL5133 and a HP Vectra VL), running Windows NT 4
(Service Pack 4) to run NCU at 57600 bps (!) without any problem, well, very few
problems. Usually, if I lost connection during a backup, I open TaskManager and
set the priority of the NCU task to "Realtime", and that always fixed the
problem with connection dropping.
So, I would say, try to install on another computer and see if it works.
