Thanks for the detailed report! It's not conclusive but it looks like
we can (and should) enable POSIX_CRTSCTS for all Solaris builds. The
only thing that bothers me is why nobody ever noticed flow-control
failures before? The Solaris version of C-Kermit has been using SVR4
style RTS/CTS since 1992.
So maybe the failures occur only in conjunction with 8-data-bits+parity,
which is a new feature of C-Kermit 7.0. Do you also get failures when
you don't also set hardware parity?
Unfortunately I don't have a Sun/Solaris workstation that I can test
hands-on with a modem or breakout box or I could sort this out myself.
