Both sides _don't_ have to use the same type of flow control.  Flow control 
is applied between the modem and the PC - what the remote end does is it's 
business and doesn't matter.

That's characteristic of a flow control problem.  If your modem is external, 
there's one area you may have overlooked:  hardware flow control is 
implemented through hardware - specifically, two wires between the modem and 
the PC port.  Some inexpensive serial cables omit these two wires, and 
hardware flow control cannot work in that case.  They're pins 4 and 5 on a 
db25 connector and pins 7 and 8 on a db9 connector.  You'll have problems 
with hardware flow control if those pins are missing or the signals 
intermittant.
