- Turning CTS/RTS on/off is a software function checked by the serial
- device handler on each character. It will attempt to stop the modem
- when its buffer is almost full. I believe that if the modem ignores
- the hardware flag, it still processes each character and can have a
- lose of characters. Basically, the CTS/RTS flag is just a bit the
- serial device sets to tell the modem or serial device to stop.
