No.

Not absolutely true, but XON/XOFF is risky. And it can't cope with the
high speeds of modern modems liek RTS/CTS can.

Probably, back in college we had a prof who wanted to print from PINE locally
on his PC, on the ethernet. He was running PINE on the schools main server.
It took our top support people a week to get the damn thing to work, and
in the end one of the whiz kids rewrote some code.
It just didn't like printing on his PC.
