   Kinda sounds like one of those "Apple II Must Die" type of people to me.
The GS works fine at 19200 baud. What causes character loss is the machine not
being able to keep up with the data flow.  This usually happens when the screen
scrolls or clears, as the processor has to do a lot of work (esp. when using
the built-in firmware routines- gosh they're slow).  
   File transfers work because there is nothing going on besides sending or
receiving raw data - the GS, and even the ][+ are quite fast enough for this (
I've had my GS and a ][+ hooked to IBMs at 19,200 baud and it worked flawlessly.
   I recommend a new terminal program for you. I can make you quite a deal
in a few months. :)
