I too have had this problem with computone's AT16 product. I was very
amazed that it could not handle 9600bps cu connection with another Xenix
system without a loss of data.  However, I was able to overcome the problem
by increasing the CPU time spent on the important ports. You might try
this method if your Computone product allows it.
