Yep, nobody likes to be spoilt by level 1 "support" people who don't
even know what you're talking about (but they tell you to RTFM just to
be sure). :-/

I presume I won't need it... so I won't have to solve these problems.
For me, standard rs-232 capability with hw (rts-cts) flow control
is/will be be enough. The docs give pretty detailed explanations about
how this works in the ft232 so I'm hoping this (at least) to be
implemented in the drivers.
(No or buggy rts/cts flow control would render an USB/RS-232 adapter
pretty useless anyway... this is another hope for me that this feature
must work well in the drivers... we'll see it... :-) )
Greets!,
Levente
