: Does anyone know how to disable hardware flow control on a serial
: line used for logins?  ( Using the standard sio driver on 2.1.7 )

: I'd like to connect a terminal using some DB25/RJ11 connectors, which
: are limited to 4 wires, but getty doesn't respond unless CTS/RTS
: are connected.  I can't find anything in the getty or sio docs,
: so any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks everybody, for all the helpful tips.  The /etc/rc.serial file
was piece of the puzzle I was looking for.

Cheers,

-Jason
