I got to thinking about this and there may be an easy fix for this. 
Take a look at the data being sent and see if they are sending a ^Z 
at the end of each "page". If so, you can probably use stty to 
change the EOF to ^Z instead of ^D. You will probably have to change 
the suspend character first from ^Z to something else. (I have only 
tested it on the local tty and only with changing eof...)

stty -F <device> susp ^Y ; stty -F <device> eof ^Z
  or
stty -F <device> susp ^Y eof ^Z
