Yes, but the two of them serve different purposes. Given the
TrailBlazer's packetizing algorithm, hardware flow control would not
make any difference to the performance (and my understanding is that
is *does* support EIA flow control anyway). Sure, what they do is a
hack, but it's a clever hack (providing it works).
