I've now changed the jumpers on the board so that both the southbridge
serial ports are used, and I get the same behaviour with both.  I've also
tried changing the set-up to use software handshaking, but this didn't
solve the problem either.

However, I've temporarily solved the problem by turning down the
computer<->modem speed to 57600.  I'd really like to get this back to 115k
so that I can connect at v90 if possible.  

I suspect (as you suggested) that it is losing some characters somewhere. 
I don't think it's a handshaking problem because the XON/XOFF didn't work
either.  However, the boot messages show the com port as set-up correctly
with IRQ and fifo.

Any clues that could help get this running at full speed would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

David.
