Howdy,
   I am trying to figure out a way to make my the EPORTS card in my 3B2/400
(running System V Release 3.2) do hardware handshaking.  It is a very easy
matter to make the EPORTS card use HARDWARE in a sh/ksh environment by
using the "epstty hfc" command.

   But in a UUCP environment, with uucico as the shell program, you don't run
any shell scripts, and the /etc/gettydefs doesn't have any provisions for
hardware flow control...  (unless I am missing something?)

   I have verified that hardware handshake is alive and well after the "epstty 
hfc" and verified the 3B2 is ignoring hardware handshaking otherwise...

Cheers.....
