Re: Too much data?

Sounds like you have a flow control problem...

The answer depends much on the device you are connected to and what it supports   ( xon/xoff , rts/cts )  

  Verify what your remote device supports then turn on its corresponding option in the conserver.cf ( ie, ixon, ixoff, etc )
