-----------
I dunno. The most suspicious culprit is a hardware conflict over
the port. Do you have anything else attacking that port? A mouse driver,
a MODE blah,P, hardware stepping on the IRQ wire or i/o port numbers?
There is quite a bit of discussion of serial ports in the distribution
docs so I suggest reading the material and see if any points apply to
your machine.
