As it seems the ACIA is made for half duplex. Just read some more. The ACIA requests to send to the modem, and the modem answers with CTS when the ACIA is allowed to send. This collides with my full duplex understanding of Hardware handshaking. Where RTS allows the ACIA to signal to the other side that it is ready to receive (request the other side to send) while CTS allows the other side to keep the ACIA from sending, so that you can have two ACIAs connected with crossed over RTS/CTS connections.
