Between postings and email, I think I have the story straight: RTS/CTS flow
control (between computer and modem) works properly under TOS 1.2, but not
under TOS 1.0, 1.4 or 1.6.  The problem is thus a software one.  I luck
out on this one because I use TOS 1.2, and wasn't planning to upgrade TOS on
the machine the modem hooks to anyway.  There have been several references to
patch programs to correct the problems (and I don't know what the problems
are: just from morbid curiousity, I'd like to know what happens wrong).  So
far, nobody has named a patch program though.  I suspect these may be among
the files that still don't have descriptions on atari.archive, because a
scan of the file list there didn't turn up anything obvious.  

Bottom line: for general interest, please name a RTS/CTS patch program.
