Well I recommend that you start to contact the authors of dosemu/gtkterm
et al, as I've no further advise.

That said; you never did detail just: 1) what data you were losing, 2)
specifically what you are trying to do with gtkterminal/others, 4) what
serial device you are attempting to communicate with, and 4) what steps
you've actually taken to troubleshoot the original problem.

Your original post was (in it's entirety):

So, let's go back to square one, ignore are subsequent advise/posts, and
ask that you provide the basic information above. Then perhaps someone
can help you further.
