I first thought the same thing. I can't use hardware flow control on the Wimodem because I need DTR and DSR (can't have DTR/DSR and CTS/RTS together on v1).
But I don't think this is the case here because the client I'm using in the example I posted was a telnet connected terminal program on my Mac. I don't think the server (the BBS connected to the Wimodem) is the issue because the connection speed there is 9600 baud - but because of whatever buffering and batch sending is happening, data seems to be getting lost between the Wimodem and the remote client.
The best performance I have gotten while logging in remotely to the BBS is using Ftelnet (http://embed-v2.ftelnet.ca) which is a browser embedded telnet client with terminal emulation (it has very few errors), but the example I posted was with a telnet terminal emulator called Zok (https://www.emtec.com/zoc/)
When I use real hardware - another Apple II with another internet connected "modem" (not a Wimodem) I get occasional blips. Using software flow control - xon/xoff doesn't seem to help - perhaps the other "modem" doesn't buffer incoming data sufficiently?
In any case, I only seem to have this issue connecting with my Wimodem enabled BBS - other BBSes (I imagine they're connected with some sort of tcpser implementation) don't seem to blip on my end.
