Well, I've downloaded a program from somewhere (GEnie I think) that allows for
"proper" operation of the RTS/CTS lines.  It's stuck in my AUTO folder on the
HD.

As for the DC multi-port, it only supports RTS/CTS on the standard ST port.
(Per the doc's.)

I asked for, and received a copy of the doc's from DC.  (In Email no less!)  I
noticed a post from someone there and requested them.  I'm a little leary of
posting them here though.  I'll send the folks email and ask them to post them
here.
