Check again line. This tcpdump shows nothing abnormal, you should
see full line utilization.

In fact this tcpdump proves that this line is not 115kbaud. 8)
It is perfect to measure its real bandwidth. F.e. RTT is very
good estimated as 0.9sec.

Failure to delaye acks do not affect throughput. Too long delay really can.
It is possible in this case, by the way. RTT does not match to link speed
even closely.

Window is small, but 2 packet window is also enough to saturate
this link.

To resume: either receiver holds ACKs (probably, it is confused
with its own small window), or something on link is wrong.
Incredible regularity of the tcpdump forces to suspect that it
is not 115kbaud really. 8)
