Greetings All, 

    I recently helped someone, and will be doing it for my system, 
install a modem for dialin on a:

386 - 40. 8 megs.
SVGA
Bustek SCSI card.
Serial and Parallel on some kinda card.
Telebit T2500
Interactive ISC 2.2

  I finally got everything working the way I wanted it.
Looks good. Dials in and out and everybody is happy

   BUT: (There is a but) I had to resort to XON/XOFF
flow control between the modem and the computer. I had
set it up for CTS/RTS, but when the modem drops CTS, the
computer keeps right on sending chars. So I put it
back to XON/XOFF and for the most part it works fine.

  SO: What happened to CTS/RTS. I pretty much figured
this should be working right off the git-go, but no way hose'!

  I had sort of a break out box that helped me to watch the control
lines, so this is how I finally decided that the CTS/RTS flow 
control was not working.

  IF: Anybody has any ideas or experience with this, please
drop me a line. I will need to get CTS/RTS working and I
know a lot of you all out there have ISC, probably with
modems. I will be glad to summarize any responses I get.
Thanks in advance.
