  Using hardware signals (Clear To Send/Request to Send - CTS/RTS)
  Using software signals (control S and control Q, also known as
XON/XOFF).

  Whilst the latter may be fine for a terminal (text) link, data on a
  PPP link uses all 8 bits - and it is quite probable that somewhere in
  the data there will be data bytes that translate as control S and
  control Q. So, if a modem is set up to use software flow control,
  things can rapidly go berserk!

  For high speed links using PPP (which uses 8 bits of data) hardware
  flow control is vital and it is for this reason that you must use
  hardware flow control.
