Regarding RTS/CTS vs. XON/XOFF flow controll.
If I am communicating via some chain of boxes especially including
modems, can I expect RTS/CTS to work, and if so would someone
kindly explain how this would work.
I can easily understand XON/XOFF working, that's program control.
But RTS/CTS as I understand it depends on controlling a signal on
a particular wire of a direct connection between the hardware ports,
with of course programmed recognition of that state of the hardware.
Please reply via e-mail preferably to my bitnet mailbox.
