>Description:

Specialix has a rather odd habit of misnaming the pins on their serial
ports. They come from the point of view that presumes that they are
providing DCE ports to connect to terminals.

This is exactly backwards from the traditional viewpoint. Thus,
sicontrol mstate will say that RTS is asserted, when it really
means that CTS is asserted. Same with DTR/DSR.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

This should either be documented as a heavy warning on the si or sicontrol
man page or the labels changed.
