Problem w/Comm control & Director - works only once!

Hi I'm talking back and forth between a BS2SX and Macromedia Director
(which is using the MSComm ActiveX control). I'm also using a Bafo
USB-Serial converter, if that makes a difference.
Everything works pretty well the first time I run it. However, if I
stop the movie in Director and restart it, it refuses to send data
from Director to the Stamp (it will still receive data). If I unplug
the Bafo and plug it back in again (resetting the com port entirely)
and restart Director, it will work fine.
Anyone know why this is happening? I set the PortOpen property of
the MSComm object to FALSE when I stop Director. Is there something
else I'm missing?
