Hardware handshaking
Bit 2 can be set to determine whether the TNC stops transfer from an external device by using RTS.
– Data output TNC -> EXT
When the receiving buffer is full, the external device resets the RTS signal. The TNC thereby
detects that the peripheral unit receiving buffer is full because of the CTS input.
