There is no need for any of that; you already have RTS/CTS
set between your computer and the modem. You can use "set
dial display on" prior to dialing to watch the dialog and
verify this for yourself. This one:
: * Hardware-flow: AT&H1&R2&I0\{13} <---
should be sent.
: Communications Parameters:
: Line: /dev/cua/a, speed: 38400, mode: local, modem: usrobotics
: Terminal bits: 7, parity: none, duplex: full, flow: rts/cts, ...
: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So your end is set up fine. The problem is on the other
end, between the answering modem and whatever it is
connected to (terminal server or host serial port), which
must BOTH be configured for RTS/CTS too. Call Panix and
have them check it.
