Problem Description:
This patch corrects the behavior described in Sun Bug No. 1044721.
Systems running SunOS 4.1 with ALM (Systech MTI) boards can experience
flow control problems on these serial ports. The system will not
recognize an incoming XON character after receiving an XOFF character,
which causes the port to appear frozen. Typing ^S^Q will reenable
output.
