Yes, Simon has a whopping big input buffer of 10K.  The default input
serial buffer is something like 128 bytes, so it can get overrun very
quickly.  By cat'ing a huge file without paging, you can overrun
Uniterm's input buffer (and lose characters), but you really have to
work at it.  I have never had to use flow control when using Uniterm,
even at 19200 baud (you should see kermit fly!).
