I think that it was a FATAL mistake not to include working hardware RTS/CTS in the DC PORT serial io product. Many Atari ST bbses would like to go multi-port, but the new high speed US Robotics modems require HARDWARE flow control for optimal performance. Is there any chance that DC PORT will be redesigned to add hardware RTS/CTS?? I am not interested in buying such a product until it does include hardware RTS/CTS. I would buy the DC PORT, today, if it had hardware RTS/CTS!!! Richard Covert
