Summary: Hardware handshaking on the 520st serial ports


	I am trying to set up communications between a stand alone
68000 contlled board with standard RS232 serial ports and my 520ST.
I have everything setup and communicating, however I need to be able to 
hold off the stand-alone board via hardware/DTR hardware handshaking andf
apparently the atari 520ST only supports XON/XOFF software handshaking
on the serial ports. 
	Does anyone know of a patch/fix/mod to the Atari operating system that
will allow hardware handshaking control of the serial ports? A serial
port is NOT really standard RS232 unless it can do this. Are there any terminal
programs that anyone knows of that control the 520ST serial port's handshaking
in hardware?
	Any help will be greatly appreciated, of course!
