Hi, Larry, I find this hard to believe, but what I've been told is that
Interactive does not support hardware flow control RTS/CTS. Is this
true?

I'd try it anyway. Use the stty command and turn on rtsflow and ctsflow
and turn off ixon. I know under SCO Unix this works and I can't believe
that Interactive wouldn't support something this basic. There's no need
to use the +fmc flag unless you want hardware flow control with full
modem control. What kind of device are you hooking up?
