Can you instrument your serial driver to count/notice overflow events?
It's strange that you're missing chars 3-12 in a longer paste.

Does it help to use

	busybox microcom -d 10 ...

? (That is a feature that is missing from the "fullblown" microcom that
comes in the microcom package.)

Best regards
Uwe
