Hi,
It seems to have been dropped again, so I resend it.
Linux' ppp has not been implementing xon/xoff since 2.0 at least (a
thread on linux-ppp clearly stated that some years ago: just type
"pppd xonxoff": without the patch you can't stop the flow), here is a
patch to correct this on 2.6.0-test1 kernel. It has been well tested and
updated over the 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
Regards,
Samuel thibault
Add xon/xoff support to the ppp line discipline for async ports.
