For the first download I had putty on my computer connected to sis1 telnet port23 while the prop chip was sending 115200 debug output data to the sis1 esp chip.

The second attempt I closed putty to stop the connection to sis1 telnet port23.

Perhaps this is a Parallax-ESP bug,...

Putty was also dropping/freezing the telnet connection at random from two different computers, in different locations.

This, so far, has been resolved by simply moving the location of the wifi router to one that has less walls between the esp and router.

Simply put, this is a problem directly related to a bad/low wifi signal between the esp and router.
