I've got the same problem on the 286 version (2.2.3).  If I dial out on
the line (using cu or uucp with SCO's dialTBIT), and then do a
stty -a <tty?? it shows both -ctsflow and -rtsflow.

Dial-ins do show ctsflow enabled when I have only CTSFLOW enabled in
gettydefs.  But if I put both CTSFLOW and RTSFLOW in gettydefs and then
dial in on the line, the port locks up as soon as I enter the password,
and I can't get past that point.  It appears that RTSFLOW is not
supported.

I spoke with tech support Monday (02/06) and they put me on the list to
receive the fix when engineering finishes with it.
