Do you have hardware flow control enabled on the port (and the modem,
too)? (see "man setserial")
Though it seems unlikely, given your description, that a flow-control
problem might be the cause, but it is possible. If the canned strings
that your ISP pours down the wire come faster than your system/serial
port can handle them you'll need flow control, and if you don't have it
(or don't have it working) you'll indeed lose characters. But I'd
expect it to show up at other times too.
Good luck!
