Re: DTR Flow Control

Hi Michael,
> Is DTR flow control supported?

No. However the Win32 API uses very confusing names, so make sure the
app is really asking for DTR/DSR flow control.

DTR_CONTROL_ENABLE does not mean DTR/DSR flow control is enabled, it
means turn on the DTR line permanently. Only DTR_CONTROL_HANDSHAKE
means the serial port should use DSR/DTR handshaking. (AFAIK,
DTR_CONTROL_ENABLE and DTR_CONTROL_DISABLE flags are not correctly
handled in the current wine... they should actively turn on or turn
off DTR).

Additionally, there were some problems in the
GetCommState/SetCommState code that saw DTR_CONTROL_HANDSHAKE
accidently turned on, so make sure that it is really the application
that is requesting it.

As Marcus pointed out, the linux kernel itself does not support
DTR/DSR flow control, but given the time and motivation, we could
solve the problem if you really need to make this work...

This is the key point, because if the application itself supports DTR/DSR
handshaking, then all the support which it needs is the ability to sense
DSR and to set/reset DTR.

Yes, it should be able to do that.
