Unless you change the LaserWriter to not use Xon/Xoff, you will have
problems with buffer overflow when connected to an IBM PC.  This of
course assumes that you are NOT using any software that is suppose to
handle Xon/Xoff flow control signals from a serial printer.

What I am saying is that the LaserWriter defaults to Xon/Xoff flow
control and the IBM PC test for Data Terminal Ready (DTR ??).  You gotta
get both machines using the same flow control.
