[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] Hardware FLow Control?

kevin@msa3b.UUCP (Kevin P. Kleinfelter) (07/11/89)

Anyone know if there is a way to make AIX respect hardware flow
control as implemented by modems like the Hayes V-series?
(This is where RTS/CTS are used in place of XON/XOFF.)

If so, could you please enlighten me?  Thanks.

Numerous conversations with IBM have resulted in their admitting that they
do not support conventional RTS/CTS flow control under AIX, and don't
intend to in the near future.  This was for the RT PC version of AIX, but
I suspect the same is true for the PS/2 version as well.
