I just don't get anything back. I don't think your problem is related to what I am seeing. My problem only appears with 16_6_50 UARTs, which your Sportster internal is unlikely to have; also, my problem is so severe that you would probably consider your ISP connection unusable if you had the same problem. I think your first diagnosis (flaky ISP) was probably correct.
