You are connecting two computers (DTE) together, correct? You can use loop
back handshaking (nulling RTS/CTS and CD/DTR/DTS) for one machine, but not
the other, correct? Why not? Could you explain how can access the Tx/Rx (or
TD/RD) pins but not RTS/CTS/DTR/DTS/CD pins on the "problem" machine? What
pins do you have access to on the "problem" machine? Are you connecting
directly to lines on the MB?  Directly to the serial IC?  In every scenario
I can come up with, you should have access to the other lines...

Curious and confused...
