    I had the same problem and was able to fix it by setting XON/XOFF on from
    the terminal setup menu.  I am not sure why it worked on your IBM without
    this, except maybe you set it in one configuration file and not the other.

    BTW, input from UNIX/IBM is coming faster the pc can empty
    the input buffer.  XON/XOFF sends a signal to the sender that a 
    "high water" mark has been reached and to temporarily stop sending
    characters.  Maybe the IBM sent the characters at a slower rate than
    UNIX so as to never overflow the input buffer.  

    If it still doesn't work on UNIX then try the command
    stty ixon   (SYSV)
    or
    stty TANDEM (4.2BSD) 
    this will tell UNIX to use flow control, combine this with turning on 
    the XON/XOFF flag in procomm and you should be in business.
