   I believe this would be due to the Model 100 sending out XON/XOFF
characters on it's own, then the host detects the framing error, etc..
The LCD screen on the M100 has an overall average response of about 600
baud, but what takes the most time is scrolling there, and it does send
out a LOT of xon/xoff's to the host during normal communications.  The
600 baud avg. LCD rate means that if you ever use a 1200 or 2400 bps
modem on the M100, your avg. receive speed for screen text display will
still be only 600 bps, although file xfer speed (like via xmodem) will
go faster.
