Can you tell me the exact sequence that things need to happen?

Are you talking about sending the tnc-stop.sys commands fully before
the interface is down, shutting off handshakes before that event,
what exactly?

Give a little more insight into what goes wrong, and what needs to
be changed to make it right, and we can probably code that up.
Probably not before next week's release though.
