Sounds like you already answered the question... My first guess is speed
problem. I had this problem with some modems a long time ago. Are all
the ports set to 57600? I found that setting them to 115200 added no
performance, and a ton of "garbage" to the incoming users.
Second thing I would check would be cables.
