   Gee, sounds like it's time for you to get a more modern term program, perhaps
one that runs under GS/OS.

  What speed is your modem running at?  I ran 9600 baud with ZLink and never
lost characters, even with about 20 NDAs, 20 CDAs, bunches of INITs, and CDEVs.
Never had a problem.  I would suspect ProTERM is the problem, no the other
components of the system.
