Worldblazer and rts/cts flow control on hpux

Well I cannot seem to find this in an HP FAQ, so apologies if I have
missed something.
But basically the scenario is:  I have a Telebit Worldblazer modem,
and HP9000/817 running HPUX 9.0, with a 16channel async Multiplexer
(full modem control part #J2094A).

The modem is currently installed, working well and
configured fine for both dialin and dialout but using XON/XOFF flow
control.  I need to make this modem use RTS/CTS flow control and it will
possibly be used for UUCP use also.  Currently I use simply kermit v.5
to dialout from the HP machine.


Here is my cable from HP Mux port to WorldBlazer rs-232:
HP Port			Modem
RD	2	------	3
TD	3	------	2
DCD	4	------	8
DTR	6	------	20
GND	7	------	7
RTS	8	------	5
DSR	20	------	6
CTS	22	------	4

The port was created via SAM as a modem port, with the CCITT field
checked.  And without the UUCP field unchecked for now.

$ ls -al /dev/*pe
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     other     58 0x40010e Jan 14 10:44 /dev/cua1pe
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     other     58 0x50010e Jan 14 14:02 /dev/cul1pe
crw--w--w-   1 root     other     58 0x60010e Jan 14 10:44 /dev/ttyd1pe

and here is my current modem config:

/users/jae> kermit
C-Kermit 5A(189), 30 June 93, HP 9000 Series HP-UX
Type ? or HELP for help
C-Kermit>set lin /dev/cul1pe

Connecting to /dev/cul1pe, speed 19200.
The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS)
Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
or followed by ? to see other options.

OK

S253=10  S254=255 S255=255 
OK

With all the background information behind us, the question boils down
to:  for me to use RTS/CTS hardware flow control
 I change the S58 register to 2    (ats58=2)  but then
I can not communicate with the modem at all.  No response from further
ate  or atq commands!
I can exit out of kermit fine but further communication is impossible.
I am a bit suspicious about the &R  register, but it appears (to me)
that otherwise my cable, modem config is all ok?  Unless pins 6 and 20
on my cable are wrong...?

Can anyone provide some insight into this scenario and lead me toward
a solution path?  forever indebted for whomever can help.

	After issuing S58=2, look at the LEDs on the front of the modem.
	If you do not see RTS lit, then the cabling is defective or the 
	port is not asserting RTS. This would explain why you can no longer
	talk to the modem because the modem believes that it is flow 
	controlled.

My wiring diagrams say you have the correct cable, except RTS on pin 8
should be connected to modem pin 4, and CTS on pin 22 should be connected
to pin 5.

This is interesting ... I had the exact same problem the first time I
hooked up a modem to a HP MDP port :-)

You are on a MDP port, right?

I did not check your modem setup as provided.
