Unfortunately, this flag has no effect other than causing "set flow
rts/cts" to be silently accepted. I sent patches for this to Frank da
Cruz but apparently he didn't like them or they were to close to a
final release to make any more changes.

However C-Kermit will not mess with the rts/cts state so if you want
to use it you must turn it on before you run C-Kermit like this:

$ stty crtscts </dev/ttys0

Or if you are willing to recompile C-Kermit to *really* support
rts/cts, I can send you the patches or you can find them on Sunsite.
