#109137 - Buffer overflow
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Well unless you have some control over the host you are connected to, this may never work. If the other side (host) is a PC, then you can run into a situation where the host has a huge buffer and even if you send XOFF you will get a pile of data before the XOFF request is honoured. You need to use a scope and test to see if the host honors the XOFF immediately or much later. It's it's MUCH later, then you will need a BIG receive buffer.
