I am attempting to connect a laser printer to a Sun 3/60 using DTR/DSR as
flow control instead of XON/XOFF.  I don't have a choice in the protocol
as the printer is being shared with a Novell print-server, and Novell
won't use XON/XOFF.

Anyway, I have looked through the manuals, and don't see anywhere what I
need to do to change from XON/XOFF to DTR/DSR.  Am I just being stupid, or
is this a non-trivial task?

Please mail your responses, I haven't had the time to read news as much as
I would like lately... :-)
