Assuming tty on sio0 (aka COM1)
	stty -f /dev/ttyid0  -crtscts clocal
and/or
	stty -f /dev/ttyld0 -crtscts clocal

See /etc/rc.serial for more examples.

Hint: read the relevant manuals: sio(4), tty(4), comcontrol(8).

Hardflow/softflow control should be described in stty(1), tty(4).

Otherwise, you should be able to hardwire RTS to CTS and DTR to DCD
on the BSD box side. On a DB-25 plug, connect 20 to 8 (DTR on DCD)
and 5 with 6 (RTS with CTS). That should do the job, but you'll loose
hard flow control. Don't remember to activate soft flow control
with "stty ixon ixoff".
