Hi Matthias,
Would it be possible to have a WANT XON/OFF to choose this feature?

Cool.

The amforth-shell is not only a terminal shell, its a python
component for embedded use as well. Using may save you a lot of 
work, perhaps.

I spent some time to get XON/XOFF working too. It was ok
as long as I used a "real" serial lne. With USB sticks 
I've encoutnterd very mixed results ranging from "works
well" to "works not at all". The current echo-based flow 
control turned out to be very realiable for all connection
types and the timeouts that occured had a real reason.

Hardware flow control is of course better, but requires
2 hardware pins. Enoch mentioned that he wrote something,
but did not published a recipe for it, IIRC.
