Is there any way to switch off flow control (X-on/X-off) from
Basic? I tried a program which opens COM1 and uses INPUT$ to read
characters from the line - but regardless of the Preferences
'handshake' setting (x-off/RTS/CTS/none) the driver reacts
to X-on/X-off (it swallows both characters and actually stops output
from the comms port after X-off).
I'm sure this is no problem in C or some other real language, but
I wanted to prototype something in Basic...

I've noticed the same thing in C. WHen Smokey uses a small buffer
size and very speeds greater than 9600, the comm port will send
out 4 Xoffs and never send an Xon.

Maybe, but I was talking about *input* to the port... I want to
read *any* 8-bit combination, and not to loose X-on/X-off.
