From a DJGPP program running inside Windows? Sorry, but I suspect
that's doomed to fail. You're pretty much guaranteed to lose some
characters every once in a while, at such high baud rates. Even with
a hardware FIFO, 115200 can very easily become too fast to be
manageable, with all those context switches and the rest of Windows
eating into your program's CPU time.

That's a very crude way of doing this. Consider using a proper serial
port communication library. There's about a handful available for
DJGPP on the ftp servers.

You get _what_? What's '16382 CHRO' supposed to be?

That's about as hostile an environment as you could come up with. You
may have to consider switching to native Win32 programming (using
Cygwin or MinGW32 instead of DJGPP), and completely change how you
access the serial port, in the process.
