File upload/download with old PC and 386 systems with MS-DOS 5.0 is near impossible if the system is idle at the DOS prompt. MS-DOS is always busy.

Temporary workaround is to run a UI that doesn't read constantly from DOS I/O, like EDIT.COM, then perform file I/O.

Can this be resolved somehow?

Resolved. An option to execute a software delay inside INT 28h was added, which gives the serial IRQ time to do it's work.
