This is a flow control problem of the Vax's. A VAX 780 running VMS
can't keep up with a 1200 baud line transferring ASCII without some
form of flow control. Perferably XON/XOFF (^S/^Q) so that the UNIX
system can do it by default. What you need is for the VMS system to
generate a ^S when it's input buffers are nearly full, and a ^Q when
they have drained sufficiently.

	That's why I call it VMESS...
