Flow Control

Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are
full, a 'stop' signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a 'start' signal can be
sent to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals.
Options available: None/Hardware RTS/CTS.
