You really might try PLIP, over your parallel port. The cable is VERY
easy to construct, plus some are available commercially (LapLink cables).
It works neatly, and it is faster than a serial cable.

If you say it works for a time, the problem is very unlikely be at the
software side. 

If it hangs up after a while, it may be because of some sync loss or too
many errors. Make sure your cable's ground pins are connected as they
should, that there is no unshielded magnetic interference etc.
