Craig, one more point; you say your concern is to ensure your data
is received correctly; RTS/CTS handshaking will never guarantee that -
at best it will prevent receiver overruns, but there are many other ways
your data can be waylaid. You must implement some kind of error-checking
and acknowledgement protocol between the two ends to ensure correct
receipt of data. How complex this has to be depends on what you are doing.
