- The physical serial communication chips in the DS200 won't send if CTS isn't
- asserted. Period. It can't be "fixed" in the firmware/load image. However, DEC
- is free to do it wrong in future server products.

- What they mean is that when you use the crossover cable (BC22R) to do re-
- verse LAT, the signal that appears on the far end of the BC22R as RI is assert-
- ed by the DS200. And they're correct.
