I have run into this before.  At least I _think_ I know what your
problem is.  You don't say 'crtscts', you say 'rtscts'.  And if you
put an illegal option in the middle of the line, the rest of the options
never get parsed.  And no, I have never received an error message in
this situation, either.

The man page mentions 'rtscts', so there's no error there.  However,
this seems to be a common mistake.. maybe ttyflags(8) should print
a warning when it can't parse the tty options?
