I just got a Microcom QX modem. Everything works fine until I use Xmodem,
Kermit or do a Binary transfer. In these modes Xon/Xoff cannot be used be
cause if there happens to be the binary code for a control-S or control-Q
the transfer gets screwed up. So, I turned off Xon/Xoff in the modem.
Now I have two choices no handshake....and let the mac or the modem overflow.
Or I can use hardware handshake (CTS/RTS).....
It looks like I should use the hardware handshake. BUT....the Mac
does not support the RTS/CTS handshake leads. The Mac only supports
DTR/DTS.
Now I need the experts on the net. How do I use my Microcom modem in the
reliable mode with the Mac? How do I get the Mac to emulate the RTS/CTS
leads?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
