Well, it's ( or was ) like this. My mac can provide hardware handshake,
provided I use the write terminal emulator. Now it can throttle the
modem at this end, but what about the other end?

Well as a result of my posting here I have learned of another option
to stty that Sun provides, NOT in the manual, by the way. Guy Harris
told me of the 'crtscts' option to stty.

Now my terminal <-> [19.2k] <-> Sun {emacs} is solved.

Thank you, Usenet News. There are even advantages to complaining
here.
