I am not at all sure, because I don't know what it is.  Hardware flow
control as understood by the Linux C library is rts/cts flow control.

No necessary connection.  The app can manipulate those signals itself.
Flow control as I understand it is done by the modem and the OS to
prevent overrun of the FIFO and the OS's buffers, behind the app's back,
so to speak.

Probably a logfile from

wine --debugmsg +file,+comm yourapp.exe 2>&1 | tee logfile

would mean more to me than excerpts from code I help maintain.  +relay
never hurts, except it takes so much space, but traces gzip pretty well.
I expect Mike McCormack, the other person who is willing to touch Wine
serial comms, will be along presently.
