Yep, you are right. With the current (1.2. & 1.3) serial device there is no
way to set Xon-Xoff only on one side.  Bryce Nesbitt of CBM is rewriting 
the serial device and I swear he told me that the new one for 1.4 will support
separate input and output X-on/X-off.  In the meantime, the only solution is
to by-pass the built in X-on/X-off and do your own checking for CTRL-S, CTRL-Q.
