Sounds like handshaking, or rather, lack of it. I'd guess the terminal can
keep up for a while, but there comes a point where it has to scroll or
something, it sets the handshake to tell the other end to wait a moment,
but the other end doesn't, and a character or a few get dropped or garbled
while the terminal does its housekeeping. Have you got the same kind of
handshaking set up at both ends (ie both software XON/XOFF, or both CTS/RTS
or both DTR/DSR)? Usually VTs want to use XON/XOFF.
