This really sounds like a serial port problem, either sharing a port
or just a misconfigured port.

To set the port speed use:

/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 auto_irq skip_test spd_vhi

Later this can be added to your file /etc/rc.d/rc.serial

Then to see the info on the port use:

stty -a < /dev/ttyS0

Of course you want to change the device driver to from ttyS0 to which
port you are using.
