- : Cable: Pins 2,3,4,5,7,20 through
- : Modem settings: &h1 = use CTS
- : &r2 = use RTS
- : Unix tip: nt = no software flow control

- You've told your modem to respond to RTS/CTS, but have you told
- the computer port to do the same? I don't believe you will have
- success relying on the O/S (through stty settings) to provide
- this. You should use an intelligent serial board and configure
- the modem's port to use RTS/CTS.
-
- Unless you have both the modem and the port talking the same
- language (flow control) you will loose data.
