Yes, you'd expect clocal to be off according to the documentation. But
Hylafax definitely sets this true. I've had a look at the source
(ModemServer module) and it explicitly sets this bit. Tried clearing it and
recompiling, but faxgetty then reports a wedged modem, so it looks like it's
correct the way it is.
Also setup Minicom on the other serial port with hardware handshaking
enabled and blasted a file at it at 38400 - no evidence of RTS toggling and
getting lost characters. So I think it's likely to be hardware or the serial
driver itself.
