To get "raw" terminal I/O with flow control handled properly, you use the /PASTHRU qualifier. As to the lack of documentation for the /INTERACTIVE and /PASSALL qualifiers, these are, apparently, being phased out (and it's about time). Since /PASTHRU honors the /TTSYNC modifier, /NOINTERACTIVE (as you wish it to be interpreted) is equivalent to /PASTHRU/TTSYNC, /PASSALL to /PASTHRU/NOTTSYNC, and /INTERACTIVE to /NOPASTHRU.
