SUMMARY
=======
The information listed below describes the COM port settings in the [ports]
section of the WIN.INI file as changed by the Flow Control options when
selecting Ports from Control Panel.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When the Flow Control settings on a COM port are saved as xon/xoff, an "x"
(without the quotation marks) is added to the appropriate COM port in the
[ports] section of WIN.INI.
For example:
com1:=9600,n,8,1,x
The "x" designates an xon/xoff software handshake.
When the Flow Control settings on a COM port are saved as hardware, a "p"
(without the quotation marks) is added to the appropriate COM port in the
[ports] section of WIN.INI.
For example:
com2:=9600,n,8,1,p
The "p" designates a hardware handshake and infinite retries.
The absence of a letter at the end of a line donates Flow Control set to none.
