Instead of using Hardware for Flow Control try Xon-Xoff.

This is done from memory so it may or may not work. I remember once having
to use those settings via a null modem cable to a cisco switch. If you get
it going let me know.

> I am running FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE on an i586 (Pentium) that has two DB9
serial interfaces.  I am using /dev/cuaa1 for vt100 terminal emulation.  I
purchased a f/f DB9 null modem cable and connected one end to /dev/cuaa1 on
my freebsd box and the other end to "COM1" on a Windows 98 box.  I ran
Hyperterminal on the Windows 98 box with the following settings:

> Parity:   None
> Data bits:  8
> Flow control:  Hardware

> The freebsd box has an entry in /dev/ttys:

> I came up with no login prompt on the Windows 98 box.  I tested both
ports; they are operational.  The cable is operational.  Getty is running on
/dev/cuaa1.  I can talk to cuaa1 via ppp:

success either.  nothing appeared on either side!

the Hyperterminal program window.
