The physical serial communication chips in the DS200 won't send if CTS isn't asserted. Period. It can't be "fixed" in the firmware/load image. However, DEC is free to do it wrong in future server products. > They also put out some release note on, I believe, DS200 3.1 code, talking > about the server "asserting RI [ring indicator]", when RI is of course not > sourced by the terminal server! What they mean is that when you use the crossover cable (BC22R) to do re- verse LAT, the signal that appears on the far end of the BC22R as RI is assert- ed by the DS200. And they're correct.
