Hardware flow control for TTY ports under V.3

I think that I have a problem. I need to talk from a TTY port on
a 386 Unix box (Intel V.3.2) to a device that does hardware flow
control. The output port (currently) uses the FAS drivers, but
this software needs to be portable to machines that don't have
such luxuries.
When I openthe port, I use a TCSETA ioctl() to play with baud rates,
etc. However, as far as I can tell, whether or not I set CLOCAL
(which is the only relevant looking flag that I can find), dropping
CTS doesn't halt the port. What am I doing wrong? Is there a
hidden flag, or a hidden field in the termio struct, or a hidden
ioctl call? Is there something else entirely that I should use for
this? Is my break-out box broken?
I have read the entire FM from cover to cover, in _both_ directions,
about 10 times, and still can't find the answer.
