Yep, that's it! More specifically, BasiliskII only ever had so far the 
serial_dummy.cpp implementation in use, and ever the serial_unix.cpp 
code, which you enabled in the Xcode project and amended with the 
TCP/IP changes.

I tried serial_unix.cpp, and it seems to work, in this case with the 
same BasiliskII hanging bug you mentioned :) So your changes either on 
the Einstein side or the BasiliskII side would make sense.

It was long overdue :) I was actually trying to find more technical 
documentation how Einstein uses the protocol concept and how the native 
primitives work, but couldn't find much, so that is something still to 
do.
