The SMC port pins default to 5V on reset which drives the RS232 signals 
(DTR and RTS) to -10V.  As soon as your code calls the flow control 
enabling function, the SMC chip is instructed to drive the lines to 0V 
which drives the RS232 signals to +10V.  Until instructed, the SMC chip 
will not change the state of the pins.  The SMC reset state cannot be 
changed.

Also consider the possibility that the SMC chip may be held in reset 
indefinitely because of a low power condition (power not within 5V+-5%). 
  This will put the flow control lines in the default state with no 
possibility of program control of the condition of the flow control lines.
