Can anyone out there help me with a serial port handshaking question i have?

i'm trying to use amigabasic and the serial port with no handshaking.  it
seems that the choice of xon/xoff, cts/rts, none in preferences has no real
effect.  or to be more precise, xon/off stays engaged no matter what the
setting.  this is very annoying, as receiving ascii dc3 (decimal 19) locks
the damn thing up, ascii dc1 (decimal 17) comes through as a null, and decimal
255 comes through as a null.  since i'm trying to transfer cross-assembled
code to and from several microcontrollers, it's rather important to be able
to send and receive ANY bit pattern.

any help would be greatly appreciated.  post it or e-mail it. and please,
don't say "get a real language!"  if you will give me the money, i will!

thanks!
