Yes. Using SCO XENIX 2.3.2 with a working Trailblazer configuration with
hardware handshake, we installed SCO TCP/IP 1.0.0. After that, the hardware
handshake stopped working. That is, it is initially enabled (by the
dialer), but after the dialer exits, uucico does some ioctl's (if I
remember correctly, they were a TCGETA / TCSETA), after which the
RTSFLOW/CTSFLOW flags are lost. I have not yet tracked it down, but it
seems that for some reason the slip driver does not recognize these
flags. This seems plausible, given that these flags are a SCO invention
and so Lachman TCP/IP (on which SCO's is based) probably did not support
it. However, this is a conjecture: I have not yet been able to track it
down. Very annoying, though. 

Can anyone tell me if the newest version (1.0.1h) has this problem also ?

It seems that there are problems with the kernel using an WD8003 with an
serial-card - Now I will try to use NS16550N - then the problem may be over ...
It works on 9600 Baud (send/receive) and up to 38400 Baud (send only) and with
only small files - the 16450N seems to be the Problem - not the FAS (which is
2.08beta at the moment) - I will try to get some 16550 and let you now ...

  Ciao

P.S. 2.3.2 with Hardware-Handshaking without FAS is !NOT! possible !!!
