I have a CI-3500 printer with a serial interface that normally hooks up to 
a VAX that I'd like to hook up to a PC instead. Unfortunatly I don't have
the pinouts on the serial port (if someone has them - it's the model 10 
interface - I'd be grateful for a copy), but I do know that it supports
the xon-xoff protocol. My problem is that the version of DOS I have 
doesn't recognize the SW handshaking, only HW handshaking. If I tie the 
appropriate lines together on the PC's serial port, it transmits full
speed without stopping, and as a result there are places in the printout
that are missing large quantities of information. IF the lines aren't 
tied together, then I get a "Write fault error writing to device COM1:"

So what I need is a TSR I can run which will grab the serial port interrupt
vector, watch the port, and when it recieves a XON signal, return a 
"Busy" condition to BIOS, and when it get an XOFF signal, return a
"Ready"  condition to BIOS. Is there someone out there who's done
something similar and would be willing to send me a copy of their 
code, or enough of a code fragment that I can patch the rest together
myself?

Thanks for any and all help!
