That sounds like flow control. Characters are arriving too fast for the driver to read them. Are you using a real terminal? If you're using a network connection, are you using rlogin? If so switch to telnet and repeat your test. Bear in mind that even if flow control is working properly, it is not directly connected to you. All it can do is beep and hope that you stop typing.
