Losing characters when I cat a big file

Help! When I call up our UNIX machine from my Mac at home (I'm using MS Works
Comm package) and I try to "cat" a large file after about 3 or 4 screens of
info I lose the file. It seems like some kind of buffer either at my end or
the UNIX machine end is overflowing and I lose the remainder of the file.
Is there some kind of setting I can use to slow down the transmission of
the text so my Mac can keep up? I have the XON/XOFF setting ON and I've
tried a LINE DELAY and CHARACTER DELAY of up to 1 second, but that hasn't
made a difference.
