It's usually caused by interrupt latency: the inability of the PC to
read data from the comm port quickly enough in some conditions.  The
fix is to use a 16450 UART on the comm port (you can check for this
type of UART with MSD - look under "Ports").  It's also possible you
need a better comm driver than the Windows 3.x standard COMM.DRV,
_especially_ if you're using Telix for DOS in a Windows DOS box.
I'd suggest CYBERCOM.DRV, available on BBS systems everywhere.
