This problem is endemic to all Unix systems.  If the source responds to
XOFF characters quickly, enabling flow control may do the trick.  See
the "stty" command for instructions.

If your source does not respond quickly enough to XOFF, you are out of
luck unless you can add a serial to serial printer buffer to your
serial input.
