MixW does not use Handshake lines. RTS and DTR are always on. I don't know
if it uses XON/XOFF software handshaking. UI-View does send ^M, KISS ON,
RESTART into the TNC and 192, 255, 192 to exit the TNC. It also has a TX
delay of 400 msec, Tx Tail of 40 msec, Slot time of 100 msec and Persist of
64.
