A hardware signal defined by the RS-232-C standard to indicate that the computer is ready to accept a transmission.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            An RS-232 hardware handshaking signal sent from the data terminal equipment (DTE) indicating that is ready for communication with the data communication equipment (DCE).
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            A control signal sent from the data terminal equipment (DTE) to the data communications equipment (DCE) that indicates the DTE is on and ready to communicate.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            An RS-232C signal that tells the modem the local computer (or terminal) is ready for data transmission.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Signal emitted by a computer indicating that it is ready to exchange signals with the modem.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            A signal defined by RS232. It is a signal that passes from the DTE to the DCE to show that the terminal is ready to use the communications equipment.
