Serial Ports

Hello everyone
I use VB on windows to give me a Linux environment (Ubuntu)
I have set up 2 serial ports and want to use these to communicate with an external device.
Up to a point this works - I can send my device data in chunks of 100 or so bytes and the external device receives them successfully.
However, I need to send chunks a great deal bigger than this and when I try I lose bytes bug time!
I am running on a laptop using USB->Serial converters.
I have elimated the converters as part of the program by running the program on a 'real' Linux machine and also by using Cygwin on my Windows box.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this ?

Thanks

Graham

Sounds like what you need to do is change the baud rate of the port in Ubuntu
Google this and see if it helps. setting the baud rate of com1 in ubuntu
