I strongly suspect that it is the terminal programs that you are using that
cannot keep up with the hardware.  Many years ago I used an A1000 as a dumb
terminal and operated it at 19,200 baud.  I tried several terminal programs
before I found one that would operate at that speed, but had no problems
afterward.  Unfortunately, that was about 4 years ago and I don't remember
what I used.  Since I was working for an Amiga retailer part-time back then
it could have been a commercial product or maybe PD.
