Something else just flashed into my mind from my Amiga days, I believe right clicking paused the serial port. Depending on the protocol, it could resume, but I usually ran Ymodem-G, with little issues with data corruption, but could eek out an extra 5-10% data speed. It also didn't resume all that reliably, another mark against using Multi-tasking while downloading on the Amiga.

Luckily the first time I put the controller IC in a socket so the second time around it was easy :P But it was pretty sensitive to stuff like that. I've never managed to blow up a PC serial port and IIRC the controller IC was the same so I guess they used extra buffering or something.
