Serial port problem under 2.1.132 and 2.2.0pre5

Hello,

Parden me if this msg has been answered already. Can someone point me to
the kernel message archive?

Here is my problem:
I am loosing characters when I use minicom and use mouse to cut/paste
the AT commands. Command such as 'AT+FCLASS=?', when I type it on
minicom works fine, but when I cut/paste it I only get ATC or ATF
and nothing more.
kernel 2.0.36 doesn't have this behavior.

Earlier problem:
I noticed the problem when I was installing hylafax when 'faxaddmodem'
could not be completed due to the error while detecting the class of
my fax modem (USR Sportster 28.8, supports CLASS 1,2.0). 'faxaddmodem'
uses "AT+FCLASS=?" command to detect the class of modem.

Setting:
Slakcware-3.5, libc5.4.46, gcc2.7.2.3, XF86-3.3.3
in rc.local: "setserial /dev/ttyS0 irq 4 port 0x3f8 uart 16550"
motherboard is an old Intel Triton, using internal serial port.
Modem and serial port functions well.
I havn't tried using ppp under 2.[1|2].*

Thanks in adv., ;)
