Hello,
        We are trying to do RTS/CTS handshaking between two alpha
        servers.We are using RS232c cable and 9 pin connectors to
        connect com1 ports of the 2 alpha machines.We are using the
        termios strucure present in the termios.h present in
        /usr/include/sys to control the terminal attributes.
        we are opening the port tty00, then we are getting the
        terminal attributes using ioctl system call .then we are 
        setting CRTSCTS.
        we are able to distingush RTS high or low by measuring
        voltage between pins 7 and 5. but we are not able recognise
        CTS when a external signal comes to pin 8.
   We are connecting the pins in the following way
                9 PIN                           9 PIN
                
                2(Rx)                           3
                3(Tx)                           2
                5(Ground)                       5
                7(RTS)                          8
                8(CTS)                          7
       So please clarify us on the following.
       Q1: In  alpha server machines how to do hand shaking of RTS CTS
           in two PC's.
            (i.e raising RTS in first PC,waiting for CTS from second
                m/c .how to recognise CTS from external signal).
       Q2: How should be the pin connections.
       Q3 :Firstly,is it possible to do RTS/CTS hand shaking between
           two alpha servers,if so what all settings are needed.
                Waiting for your earliest reply.
        Thanks and Regards
