My app is acquiring data using the modbus serial protocol from a
custom built modbus slave device. The issues I'm seeing are timeouts
waiting for a response from the slave device. When I say hiccup, I
mean three dropped modbus packets in a row with timeouts of 200ms
each. The slave device should definitely respond within that time.

The baud rate is 57600 and I am not using RTS/CTS.
