I seem to remember this being discussed before, but memory (and a
cursory search of the archive) was not satisfactory.

On 1.5.2, I'm setting up some serial ports for several Commodore 64s to
connect to effectively as dummy terminals, but I can't seem to get hardware
flow control to work (I know the interface cartridge the 64 is using properly
handles RTS/CTS because it does it correctly with the modem). I've run
ttyflags on the port and bounced init, and I can log in fine, but there's
flow overruns all over the place. Suggestions? The entry in /etc/ttys is

tty00	"/usr/libexec/getty std.57600"	dumb on secure rtscts local

Pulling the local made no difference.
