Does Windows support software flow control?
I just ran across an interesting MSDN article which leads me to believe that software flow control is not supported: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff802693.aspx

To quote the relevant paragraphs:

>fBinary: Specifies whether binary mode is enabled. **The Windows API does not support nonbinary mode transfers**, so this member should be TRUE. Trying to use FALSE will not work.

and

>Because software flow control uses two special characters, XOFF and XON, **binary transfers cannot use software flow control**; the XON or XOFF character may appear in the binary data and would interfere with data transfer.

Does this mean that Windows no longer supports software flow control? Did it ever?
