If you haven't resolved your problem, try this.... Go into your computer BIOS and disable the parallel port, reboot and see if the skiping (micro pauses?) stops. If it does, then try changing your IRQ and see if that helps. You might also try to change the com mode (still in the parallel port) to one that has DMA support
