In fact, MichTron BBS 3.0 works just fine at 9600 baud using DC-PORT.  At
least that is what I am told by Tim Purves, and I trust him very much.

We are always willing to take special orders, and in fact, adding RTS/CTS
support can be done with hacks to our PC board.  As it stands, fresh out of
the box, DC-PORT doesn't support RTS/CTS, but if you place an order with us,
we will get you a version that supports RTS/CTS.  Cost will be more, but we
are very fair as to the added expense.

Call our support BBS, and let's talk, the number is (713)944-0108.
