I need print buffer software which handles XON-XOFF flow control
with a serial printer for an IBM compatible, specifically
an AT&T 6300.

It seems hardware print buffers are not to be found anymore,
unless you want to pay Black Box's outrageous prices.

I feel in my bones that there must be half a bazillion utility
packages out there which perform buffering, but they must do
XON-XOFF. Seems that DOS doesn't know that serial devices
can't always keep up.

I would prefer email, due to the wide range of groups covered by
this note.
