I am trying to hook an X.25 PAD up to an outgoing port on a VAX 11/785.
I've got the two basically talking using set host/dte, but flow control
doesn't seem to be working.  What modes do I need to have set for the
term port in order that CTS/RTS handshaking will work correctly?  So far
I've determined that I need the modem bit set so that the connection is
correctly terminated when either end disconnects (using DTR/DSR).  I
would really love to get CTS/RTS going instead of XON/XOFF, so that the
connections can be as invisible as possible.  Also, instead of flow
control, is there anything I can do to ensure that characters don't get
lost, such as a higher process priority, larger buffers (in sysgen, and
what parameter?), etc?  Oh ya, all at 9600 baud.

(In desperation, I figured I'd try XON/XOFF to see if atleast that
worked, and of course, it didn't seem to.  I must be off in left field
on this...)
