Easy there, friend-- your earlier messages from gmail.com did go through, but 
nobody replied to them yet.

As far as I know, FreeBSD supports hardware flow control just fine if the 
underlying UART (nominally a 16550) does (which is normally the case). 
Perhaps reading "man termios" about CCTS_OFLOW and CRTS_IFLOW about RTS/CTS 
interactions and disabling IXON/IXOFF would be of interest...
