With some use of minicom got to the bottom of the problem.
The IRA-3 returns a "NO" if the handshake gap is too short, bumping
it up makes it return "OK" and everything works as expected.
 
This should be a safe patch to use. IRA-3 uses libirman and
this is a safe patch to use. Since I have only an IRA-3 I do not
know if something like this needs to be done for TIRA.
