Summary: Need help with modem set up.  Will a Mac support CTS/RTS?

 I just got a Microcom QX modem.  Everything works fine until I use Xmodem,
Kermit or do a Binary transfer.  In these modes Xon/Xoff cannot be used be
cause if there happens to be the binary code for a control-S or control-Q
the transfer gets screwed up.  So, I turned off Xon/Xoff in the modem.

Now I have two choices no handshake....and let the mac or the modem overflow.
Or I can use hardware handshake (CTS/RTS).....

It looks like I should use the hardware handshake.  BUT....the Mac
does not support the RTS/CTS handshake leads.  The Mac only supports
DTR/DTS.

Now I need the experts on the net.  How do I use my Microcom modem in the
reliable mode with the Mac?  How do I get the Mac to emulate the RTS/CTS
leads?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
