Shut off the hardware flowcontrol with stty.  I've no trouble
with a direct link at 57600bps so there's no need to limit
yourself to 9600.

I do have trouble trying an IP-connection with PPP though as the
responding part on the BSD side apparently turns rts/cts on again
which locks the line.  I understand my Mac<->DB25 cable may be
badly connected since I can't get flowcontrol to work correctly
from the Mac side.  I gave it a co-worker for testing but he said
the cable's ok...
The Mac side is apparently configured correctly as PPP worked
to my DECstation.  I haven't veryfied the BSD side with a different
client machine yet, though.

Greetings,
				Ripley
