It's a bug fix for the RTS/CTS flow control in the computer.
 In the effected versions of TOS, it doesn't work, so you
 need this program. What it's for is so that one computer can tell
 the other one to stop & start sending data... 

BTW: Isn't Poolfix for something else??????

the one for the serial port for high speed modems is SERIALFX.PRG
