It seems that I am not the only one having control problems. I really
don't see how good control can be achieved with no flow2 control in a
consistent reliable manner. I think without using CTS and RTS for
control as is really the design of an ASYNC interface these problems
are going to continue. I would rather have them used and use the LPT
for the other functions. Save the port for control and use it
correctly.
