That's what I do, too (with TeraTerm though :). I can't imagine a PC
software terminal (not in Windows, not on *nix or Mac) that would require
hardware handshake signals. Hence my question...

I don't bridge anything when I have to connect serial data to a PC. I
simply connect two or three wires (if I don't need hardware handshake) and
that's it.
