What you need to do is slow down the PC a bit, so it doesn't get ahead of
unix.  The best way to do this is use mirror's LWAIT command, to tell
mirror how to wait before sending each line.  What I use is
LWAIT CHAR '^M'.  This forces MIRROR to send a line, then wait for a CR
to be echoed back (which will occur when unix has digested the line), and then
the next line will be sent.

There are other LWAIT's you could use, like LWAIT Echo, LWAIT Delay, etc, but
these would be slower.
