Shane,
You should not be dropping characters or getting excessive errors. Try this
..
Go into prefs/serial and set the buffer size to 2k. Make sure RTS/CTS is set
(and that you've got a "7 wire" modem cable that supports those lines). Set
your DCE speed to 19200 instead of 38400 (you say you're getting a cps of 1600,
so you don't need the bandwidth beyond 19200).
I remember something (from a long time ago and a place far, far away) about
some GVP scsi host adapter. Something about writing to disk and serial at the
same time causing problems … they had a software patch solution (something
like breaking down big disk writes to a bunch of smaller ones). You might drop
over to their section in AmigaVendor if the above suggestions don't help.
