Hello,

I have a question about modem standards and industry practices.
How is CTS (hardware flow control) implemented?  The old Bell 300/1200
modems implemented this via separate tones.  Has a separate channel
for CTS/DTS signaling made it into the subsequent modem standards?
Do smart modems implement it and operate properly?

I'm interested particularly in using CTS/DTS for signaling to the remote
end of a modem session, with no relevance to flow control.  Can this be done?
