Keith,

Thanks for the tip. I was actually running 4.0pl2 so I'll upgrade & see how
I go. 

I'm already running 19.2 with XON so I hope this solves the problem.

This sounds familiar! It is something that is/was patched after 4.0pl2.
One work around may be to change the density of the send.
Check that you run 19200 xon/xoff.

See if you want to recompile with patches... or go to 4.1
