(.......)

Anvil Systems manufactures a card which they refer to as the "Brumby",
which is a 4 port serial card that respects CTS/RTS flow control
(actually, you can't turn it off except by not connecting those
leads).  They also sell, with the card, the driver software for the
card for AIX on the RT.  This is not a product recommendation or
whatever, but I have one and use it.  Try sending mail to anvil.oz.au
for info.  They are mapped, but I can't find their US office in the
maps.
