I'm considering replacing my old 2400 bps modems with new 2400 bps with MNP5 
and V.42bis modems for my low speed interactive users. 

The problem I have is that the Equinox card I have does not (easily) support
hardware flow control. Is it easy to use make effective use of these modems
by locking the interface at 4800 bps?

The problem as I understand it is trying to use file transfer programs (uucp,
[xyz]modem, kermit) to send compressed files. Is there any work around other
than using hardware flow control?
