Curiously, the session at 38400 bps that skipped 858 bytes... coincided,

disk caching.)
`echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches` will clear out most (all?) of what
the kernel has cached from the drive. It's there just for this kind of
repeatability of tests...
And in repeat tests it is quite evident that IDE disk activity is,
indeed, at least part of the problem. As IDE disk activity increases an
increased amount of data coming in on the serial port goes missing.
Thanks,
Lee.
