I'm running AT&T 620s on a 3b2/400 SysV 3.1.  The setup is:
Speed: 19.2 (using eports board and current software)
parity: none
Check parity: no
Local echo: off
Encoding: off
Generate flow: on
receive flow: on
Pass Flow: yes

Monitor mode: off
Auto wrap: on
Newline on LF: no

The problem is the screen buffer seems to fill up and then, when
I scroll, for instance cating a file, reading news, etc. it only
scrolls or repaints 8-10 lines and the cursor freezes in place.
Pressing a key, space bar or return, runs it another 8-10 lines and it
freezes again.

If I turn the terminal off, then on, it works OK for a while, and then
it seems when the buffer is full again, the same problem recurrs.

The problem is particularly iritating when we're running Word Perfect
since as we scroll to a new page or place in the document, the screen
doesn't paint properly.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

(For example - my cursor just froze when I :r in my uucp.signature
file)
