The TeraTerm macro (in my today's post) works with zero uart transmit delays and with no flow control set in TT serial setting.
I am using an obsolate CA-42 ArkMicro based usb dongle under XP (as there is none x64 driver for 7) wired w/ rx/tx/gnd only.
The handshake is done via \n sent by FF. I set FF rx/tx buffers to 511.
Works fine here at 921k with dspic33 @40MHz.

As I am a big fan of wireless I use normally HC-05 BTooth dongles with all my dev boards. 
The issue with these cheap BT dongles is they do not propagate cts/rts so hw handshake cannot be used..
Thus a good working sw handshake would come in handy :)

I've ebayed today 2xftdi232rl 1xPL2303TA 1xCP2102 usb serial dongles to play with (hopefully they all will work with 7-8 x64).
Also I want to investigate  whether the Xon/Xoff problem comes from the usb dongles or from Teraterm itself, as I can see in the TT's log the FF sends the XOFF from time to time..
