Looking at a friend's router, his one's serial port connection *ONLY* had the three-wire type of serial connection. So his couldn't possibly use hardware handshaking (RTS/CTS). Perhaps yours can't too? Also, check what your router says about its maximum port speeds and handshaking protocols. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
