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.
