I have had reports from one of the people using my SR10 print-servers of
handshaking problems with serial lines configured for DTR/CTS (ie. hardware)
handshaking when running on series 400 machines under *some* versions of
SR10.2 and *some* versions of SR10.3. It apparently depended on which PSK's
you had (or had not) installed. In the particular case that was brought to
my attention, the printer would enable DTR to single the computer that it
was ready for data, and the series 400 machine would refuse to transmit 
because it had the definition of DTR/CTS reversed.

These problems did not show up on DN3xxx/4xxx machines, only on HP/Apollo 400
series machines.
