I have used Terminal, WinQVT, UniCOM and Microphone II. They all drop
single characters randomly. Outside Windows, Qmodem 4.2b never drops any
characters.

I am running on an AST Premium/286 with 6Mb, upgraded NS16550 UART (not
that MSWin 3.0 uses it :-( ), Telebit Trailblazer Plus in 8n1.

Have others seen such consistent bad behavior? Anyone worked it out?

Workarounds? Anyone?
