WiFi adds an extra element to the problem because unlike
one-character-at-a-time RS232 the data is in uninterruptible packets; when
the M100 sends an XOFF to stop sending, the other end doesn't respond until
it's finished sending the current packet and since the M100 doesn't send
the XOFF until its buffer is almost full already you'll almost certainly
overrun the buffer.

Some Ethernet devices let you set the packet size; if you can set yours
down to 1 you may be able to go faster.

Aside from that you might be able to use a discrete buffer between the M100
and the modem, such as was used for printers in 'the old days'...
