I'll try another test.

I put ATN_ACK on a switch.  Running with code that waits indefinitely, 
I'll turn it off initially, do the $, and wait 10 seconds or so, then 
turn it on and see if everything works.

My guess is that DATA is not brought low, but that the code is waiting 
on bytes to be sent.
