Did you set your dos session with a ansi terminal emualtion ?
My c:\winnt\system32\config.nt looks like this

---stuff deleted----
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\ansi.sys
FILES=30

After I put in the ansi.sys emulation, my siocons uploading
has much better sucess rate, I can even uploading at 115200.
But I got sync error quite often if I using com2 for downloading
from internet. When my siocons failed I will restart another
siocons and stop using com2 then I can do a successful upload.
