...have a question re: palm (OS 4.1) serial port / flow control

Writing an app which talks to a device using the standard
STX,data,ETX,checksum protocol. Since the protocol
is known to both devices (when to RX,TX, timeout), i really
don't need flow control (RTS/CTS) ...but can't find
anyway of turning it off. if i set the control bit
srmSettingsFlagRTSInactive only, i can send but not receivce,
i always seem to have to set srmSettingsFlagRTSAutoM
in order to receive data. i OR'd setsrmSettingsFlagRTSAutoM
with srmSettingsFlagRTSInactive, but i think
srmSettingsFlagRTSInactive is really just being ignored in this
case. My RS232 cable between the devices is just 3 wires
(RX,TX and signal ground) but at the palm connector i need to
short RTS to CTS. This works, but just wondering if RTS/CTS
can be disabled.

...thanks
