- I think the problem is that the voice data stream may contain
- these software flow control characters as part of the data itself. So
- you need some kind of "one way flow control", i.e. while receiving data
- you can control the flow with XON/XOFF but you must not interpret XON/XOFF
- in the data got. I don't know if *IX is able to handle this, OS-9 doesn't
- support it.
