Whoa? You know more than me.  Godbout uses DTR as a means of
connecting terminals to the CPU; it works good, and the Xon Xoff
stuff is much harder to implement at fast baud rates; or so my
engineers tell me.

I am using my Televideo 950 rather than a Dec VT-100 because the
Vt100 has only Xon Xoff, and my CBIOS really wants DTR (with the
Godbout System Support Board).  Is there something wrong with
this that I don't know about?

My engineeers are writing interrupt driven protocols to use the
vt-100 with the computer at 19000 baud.  Shouldn't they be? They
claim the Xon Xoff will  not be satisfactory.  I don't know why.

Can you inform me?
