I doubt it is easy to know what a Windows binary-only application might 
be sending over the wire.  It is easy to build a sniffer with a computer 
in the middle though.

But if the flow control is a possible issue, then maybe the bm driver 
can be hacked so each byte is sent one by one with a 10 ms delay between 
them just to validate this hypothesis.  Preferably over the serial port 
to have the least number of intermediate layers.
