In article <3765.27aaf09a@hayes.uucp> tnixon@hayes.uucp describes
how rts/cts operate on asyn data for a V.32/v.42(bis) modem. I'd like to
ask whether anything equivalent happens for synchronous traffic using
the same modems, i.e., can I have a 'nominal' DTE/DCE line speed of 38.4
kbit/s and have the modem do error control and data compression, or should
I turn off error correction (since the sync protocol does this)? And is 
flow control between the modem and DTE still done using CTS/RTR?

Or is all of this nonsense, and I'm stuck at 9.6 kbit/s (or whatever
the 'real' line speed is)?

Thank you.
