An initial test seems to indicate that this works! I notice a increased lag, but certainly something I can live with if it fixes the problem. If time proves PACING=15 is successful, I will experiment with intermediate values to find the lowest allowable setting. It will take some time to convince me this is the proper solution, but I thought I'd post back now in case anyone else is having this trouble.
One of the next steps I will take now that I know this is installing a beefier, very well shielded serial cable. It could be a loss / voltage-drop issue.
