Subject: CTS/RTS handshaking on UNIX

In order to get flow control in the other direction to work (ie., when
the device drops carrier/CTS, make Unix stop sending) you may have to
fix your device driver.  In particular, the 4.2BSD DH/DM and DMF32
drivers don't support MDMBUF.

(The changes shown will make 4.2 twiddle the DTR line when in tandem and
mdmbuf modes.)

	I'm trying to port some stuff from Sys5 to 4.2bsd (the graf
package, in particular).  The biggest problem so far is the tty driver
stuff.

	I've figured out how to translate most of the Sys5 structure
elements and modes to their 4.2 equivalents, but am stumped by the
following fragment (from ...../graf/src/dev.d/tek4000.d/lib/tekinit.c,
around line 20).  Tm.raw is a strucure of type sgttyb (nee termio).  Can I
just say "tm.raw.sg_flags |= RAW", or is this too drastic?

	tm.raw.c_iflag = 0;
	tm.raw.c_oflag = OPOST|ONLCR;
	tm.raw.c_cflag &= ~(PARENB | CSIZE);
	tm.raw.c_cflag |= CS8;
	tm.raw.c_lflag = 0;
	tm.raw.c_cc[4] = 10;
	tm.raw.c_cc[5] = 1;
