Speaking of hardware flow control ... My new AST 4-port board has an
option for setting enabling hardware flow control.  When initasy is
run (on Esix), that's one of the questions that is asked.  There's
also something about a "flow control register."  Neither of these
is documented well (if at all) in the AST board documentation.  What's
your recommendation on this?
