They said that at higher transfer rates (57.6K and 115.2K), they used RTS/CTS handshaking because (I'm paraphrasing) that's what you had to use when you had high speed modems. This puzzled me because I've been using Trailblazers at their maximum speed for a couple of years now, with either no or XON/XOFF handshaking. Could someone enlighten me?
