Does anyone know how to get ms-dos to pay attention to cntl-S/cntl-Q
handshaking on a serial port?  My printer (a DEC LA180) needs this
to keep printouts from overflowing its buffer.
I realize that I could reduce the baud rate (to something on the order
of 300 baud) and eliminate the problem, but most of the time I use
XENIX on the system (which, of course, provides handshaking), and I
like having the printer set to run at full speed.

Thanks for your assistance,
Doug Grant
