     I am seeking advice from anyone with experience in implementing 
Hardware Handshaking on a US Robotics HST modem connected to a Mac IIci.
     After recently acquiring both an HST modem and Freesoft's White 
Knight 11 terminal emulation program, I noticed that both programs 
claimed to support HW Handshaking, and recommended it when the DTE-DCE 
speed exceeded the DEC-DCE speed (as it does on my setup).
     My problem arises from the fact that the Mac uses a DIN-8 
connector, which seems to use a different nomenclature than that used in 
the HST manual.  For example, Apple Macintosh Tech Note #65 variously 
refers to pins 1 and 2 as either DTR/DSR or CTS/RTS, which, as I 
understand it, are very different things.  I gather that, in converting 
the DIN-8 connection to DB-25, it is common to interconnect these two 
sets of pins.
    Anyway, I was wondering if someone else had, by now, confronted this 
problem, and could tell me how they did it, or, alternatively, if 
someone who was experienced in connecting DIN-8 to DB-25 could explain 
it all to me, or could perhaps point me in the direction of a cable that 
would do this.  Intuatively, I cannot help think that this must be an 
easy thing to do, since both White Knight and Zterm purport to allow it.
