I'm _not_ claiming the serial drivers, but I have been trying to get
RTS flow control to work, with some small amount of success.  (I've
been trying to use a NetBSD/Mac68k machine with ethernet as a firewall
to connect a couple of machines to my PPP account, and ppp gets so many
input errors above 9600 baud that it's almost unusable.)  If I can get
it to a stable and useful point on my machine, I'll put the code
somewhere that others can peruse it.

Be warned:  I've never done any work with un*x device drivers before, 
and I don't know if I'm even going about this the right way.  I _think_
I understand what's going on in the driver from looking at the code,
but I've been wrong before.  :-)

later,
