Do Sun 3s support rts/cts flow control on the built in serial ports? The manuals seem to suggest that they don't (they tell you to enable xon/xoff and loop back the rts/cts wires), but there is an undocumented switch to stty, crtscts, that probably is meant to turn the hardware flow control on and off. Seems that I remember some words about this in the past some time. The reason I would like to use rts/cts concerns the following scenario: A Telebit T1000 modem on ttyb. The Telebit can take data at 19200baud and will use flow control to manage slower phone line connections. It is easier for getty if the line between the modem and the Sun is locked at 19200. Unfortunately I want to dial in from home at 2400baud which means the modem will have to use flow control to manage things. Xon/Xoff really screws up emacs, which I want to use from home. So I can either try to get getty to match the phone connection speed on ttyb and hope flow control isn't needed or I can try to use rts/cts, which the Telebit really likes to use anyway.
