- Try PCOMM. It's available from almost everywhere (wuarchive.wustl.edu, etc.)
-
- For those who want it, I have a diff file from mods that I did to let
- PCOMM (v. 1.2.4) support RTS/CTS flow control and 38400 baud...
-
- If there's enough interest, I'll post it somewhere.
-
- haven't added support for tty_ucb.c. Currently, I've put code in to
- use XON/XOFF when RTS/CTS is selected. If someone out there wants to
- this, I'd be grateful.
