Flow Control Radio Button Group
The Flow Control radio button group appears on the MLS Setup (General Tab) window. This group lets you specify how PC Access and a remote host should control the information flow between them.
During an online session PC Access and a remote host computer send information to each other. When one of them is sending information, the other one must be ready to receive it. If the receiving side is not ready, it will lose the incoming information. Therefore, the receiving side needs some way to tell the sending side when it is ready. The name for this technique is flow control.
The Flow Control radio button group lets you select the following: None, Hardware, Time Division/Hardware, and XON/XOFF. If you do not select Hardware flow control, and your Speed setting is higher than 9600 BPS, PC Access displays a warning dialog when you close the MLS Setup window.
