Ahhh! There's your problem, this was explained to me many years ago by
Holger.
The problem is that your Ami's internal serial port uses the CPU for
buffering (or something like that) your serial port. The AGA chipset
also uses the CPU for something, this slows down the serial port
considerably.
Two ways to fix this are...
1) Buy one of the many serial port repacements.
2) Tower your Ami and buy a graphics card.
A simple fix for the time been is to reduce the screen depth, anything
over 64 colours can cause interference to the builtin serial port.
Hope this helps, Trev Daley.
PS. I have the exact same troubles until I did numbers 1 & 2 above.
Ciao, Trev Daley.
