Once apon a time Kris Roebuck said, 'CPS Rates' to Randall Lane...

Sounds like your COMMS program is miscalculating your throughput then I'm
afraid! Where do you get 38400 bps = 4266 cps from? Since a serial port
is asyncronous, it actually sends *10* bits per byte, not 8, as there is
the start and stop bit as well as data....
