Basically, in the old-days, it was frequent for device to not have enough processing power to handle a continuous serial data stream. The CTS line lets the receiver tell the transmitter "I can handle more data now"/"I can't handle more data now", and the RTS lets the transmitter tell the receiver "I have data available", so the receiver could query for the data/prepare to assert CTS. | |
