The TI-85 is peculiar in that it doesn't support silent linking - it needs to be explicitly put in receive or send mode. But I assume that you knew that.
Also, note that by the time this bug report was posted, the latest version of TILP was 1.17... and Windows XP was on the verge of not being supported anymore by Microsoft :)
