If you have serial as a module, you should probably make sure that the
auto line in /etc/modules is uncommented and then add serial to the list
of drivers there as well. This will keep kerneld from unloading the serial
driver and loosing all your device settings.

This is most likely an issue of phone line quality. I had to have the line
from my house to the local junction box replaced because squirrels running
up and down the line generated so much static that I couldn't hold a
connection very long.
If that's not it, I would look more closely at the options file and make
sure that the flow control variables are in use. (crtscts)
