String Length Limit on AXC-232???

Does anyone know what the limit is on how many character an AXC-232 can send in one transmission?
I have a system with in which about 300 characters need to go out it one transmission. From the same Netlinx master, an NXI serial port puts them all out as does an Axcent 3 in slave mode. However, an AXC-232 running in an AXF-BP with a card server from the Netlinx master seems to truncate some characters.
Thank you!

AFAIK the maximum string length is 64 bytes in one SEND_STRING on the AXcess RS232 ports.
According to the note, Netlinx processor com ports and NXC-COM2 cards can handle up to 900 bytes going out on a SEND_STRING...

ARGL..... I have searched with keywords like "serial" "buffer", etc and had no hit

I'm thinking that one would parse out some amount of bytes less than the limit, send, then repeat until all bytes are sent. If this is the case, what would be the best way to determine that it's clear to send the next load of bytes?
Thank you.
