Some random bytes are missing while sending data from DOS to Minicom
over a serial cable. I'd appreciate any help. My setup is as follow:

dosemu-1.4.0 on a Fedora 19 x86_64 system, run by root with -s switch.

setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16650V2, Port: 0xe030, IRQ: 18

cat /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf
...
$_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0 irq 18"

(I've also tried without the irq parameter.)

cat /root/.dosemu/drive_c/autoexec.bat
...
Z:\DOSEMU\SYSTEM.COM stty 9600 -F /dev/ttyS0

>From DOS, I use

mode com1:96,n,8,1

On another machine, I've setup Minicom with the same parameters, and
started it.

>From DOS, I use:

type <file> >com1:

and some bytes are missing from the Minicom output, and the bytes is
different if I run the command once more.

On the machine running DOSEMU, I get the following output with stty -a -F
/dev/ttyS0

speed 9600 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;
intr = <undef>; quit = <undef>; erase = <undef>; kill = <undef>; eof =

I also has tried to pass crtscts to stty, and then, nothing is sent,
even though I turn on hardware flow control in Minicom.

Minicom to Minicom seems to work properly.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks and regards,
