Serious things

[Tom Burrell]

OK I will repeat my question: 
Does Linux have a driver flag to toggle the RTS signal when there is
data in the transmit buffer, similar to the Windows mode comX: rts=tg?
This is very handy in RS-485 networks. All too often the Big system is
busy and doesn't disable the transmitter soon enough to suit the
embedded end. (i.e. its not real time.)
