I've got quite a number of people suggesting (and in one case *demanding*)
XON/XOFF in the Telebit as being the culprit.  No cigar....

The problem *still* occurs when a dumb 2400 baud modem is used in place 
of the Telebit - [which was stated in the original posting].

Interestingly enough, the problem appears to have gone away when the
Bridge box was physically reset....  Makes one wonder whether some of
the parameters don't take effect until after reset.

I haven't heard from Russell for a little while, so I don't know whether
the problem is completely solved, but I am forwarding everything I get
to him.  Thanks everyone.

When and if he gets a final resolution, I'll post a synopsis of
how it's done.
