The data on com0 is coming in faster than the system can pull it from the
serial port
buffer and some data was lost.  If you are running ppp on com0 you will see
this as a
input error and some loss in performance as the frame the data loss was in
will need
to be retransmited.  Even four or five a minute is no big deal from a
performance
standpoint.

If this is a modem you can try changing the RTS to CTS delay from the
factory setting
to zero delay with a S register command, check your owners manual.  
You can add  S26=0  to the chat-script MODEM string on many modems.
