This query is for a friend of mine who has no access to the net.

Has anyone noticed a problem with serial communications under
Interactive 386/ix 2.2?  The system with the problem has a 33 MHz AMI
motherboard with 4 Mb of RAM, and can't even communicate at 1200 bps
without dropping characters!  The problem is new since upgrading from
2.0.2; and both the motherboard serial port and an internal modem show
the symptoms.  Booting under MS-DOS and using MS-Kermit works as it
should, which leads us to believe that it is a software problem.

Any insight into this problem would be appreciated.

Thanx,
Lane
