I think you misunderstand what I mean by end to end xon/xoff. > Every one of these devices I've seen offers XON/XOFF flow control and I find it hard to believe that none of them actually works. Because they don't use end to end xon/xoff. If you want to use end to end xon/xoff then the bridge wouldn't need to advertise it because all they would do is pass through the xon/xoff like any other character. Instead xon/xoff is handled locally, like rts/cts is.Received on 2018-07-05 10:00:04
