Hi Paul,
Sorry but it's been quite a while. I can't exactly tell the part number.
If I remember correctly, when the specific branch device receives interleaved replies,
it just doesn't reply to any requests.

Since the problem was because some branch devices can't simultaneously handle
two replies, I'm afraid that we might still encounter the same problem?
