CRTSCTS is to enable RTS/CTS hardware handshaking for the tty, which is what the modem wants if it is doing hardware handshaking. Why should we invent a non-standard option to enable RTS/CTS hardware handshaking when CRTSCTS is already defined to do this? -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
