Hmmm, that sounds like possibly a
buffer overflow in the
terminal. Some terminals had really slow micros running
them, and needed to stop transmission from the host for a
while. If the host is not obeying the stop-sending command
(could be the terminal is using the CTS line that is not
wired to the VAX, or the VAX is not set to obey Xoff/Xon
characters) then this would happen.
