Your log is very incomplete, there is nothing
about an actual data transfer. You must run
dosemu with the -D9+s (as you did), start printing,
wait until it fails, and only then stop the dosemu.
Then you'll get a complete log.

Does the win4lin provides a direct access to the
serial port, or the emulated access like dosemu
does?

Well, the emulated access to the serial port is
a tricky thing. The main problem is that dosemu
is not able to handle the interrupts from the
serial port, so it maintains a virtual interrupt
status. "cat xxx >/dev/ttyS0" doesn't have any
limitations like that apparently.
