SUMMARY
=======

The Microsoft Network uses hardware flow control. If you change the
flow control to software, it is usually automatically switched back
to hardware for The Microsoft Network. However, if you use a three-wire
cable to connect to an external modem, hardware flow control does not
work and you cannot connect to The Microsoft Network.
