I presume these are separately stated commands.

Stop here. We warn do not unprefix unless you know the channel
will pass those bytes intact. Many/most channels are not that clean, so
don't do that in the beginning.

There is no reason to play with the protocol codes. The defaults
are good. Thus remove SET REC QUOTE, SET REC START, SET END-OF-LINE.

The modem itself must support RTS/CTS flow control, and the cable
must carry the signals too. But I think your problem is the channel is
reacting to bare control codes from that SET UNPREFIX command.
It does pay to read the instructions, and to start from a "known
good" situation.
