Just what I am expressing here.

If not being set on the remote side, why would Netscape work OK with
crtscts set in pppd?

No. Netscape runs on my system and connects through the defaultroute
set up by pppd when it connects and a local resolv.conf that points to
the remote system's dns servers. Netscape and other X11 stuff are not
installed on the remote system. Keep in mind that I am running Sun
Solaris 8 on my local system, same as the remote system.
One thing I have not tried is compiling Lynx 2.8.4 on my local system
and using it in place of Netscape.
Ssh is involved only when I start kermit on my system, ssh to the
remote system, then start kermit on the remote system to do a
transfer.
