You think you're using hw flowcontrol, I'd say.  The only thing that works
are outgoing flocontrol i.e. CTS, RTS is *never* dealt with.  We discover
it due to slow processors and the ridiculously cheap designed UART Amiga
is equipped with.  Other archs have the problem as well but 16550's *do*
make a difference.

I'll mail some patches to the list later this evening.
