Many of us have been bitten by this one - it is a bug in COM01.SYS that has 
been present since version 1.2.  You can use the version from OS/2 1.1, 
which is stable (no 16550 support), or you can get a copy of the free 
shareware drivers COM16550.SYS and COM16450.SYS (no 8250 version yet!).

Both are available here, as either COM01-11.ZIP or COM16550.ZIP (which 
includes the '450 and '550 drivers).
