According to the Equinox manual, flow control is not supported.
However, it goes on to say that flow control with a Trailblazer is not
required, since the ports have the ability to keep up with continuous
transmission at 38.4 K without it.

I am using the Equinox Megaport without flow control for five
Trailblazers and ISC. It has absolutely no difficulty whatsoever.
