Are you sure that smsc aren't in stop-and-wait mode and you are in windowed
mode ?

If that's the case, you could be loosing messages, like
send msg 01
send msg 02
send msg 03
receive ack 01
send msg 04
send msg 05
send msg 06
receive ack 04
...

message 02,03, 05 and 06 were missed because smsc only accepts new messages
after sending
back the ack.
