I guess you are using the SMC ports for the ttyS* ?

In raw mode you're kind of lost - the SMC's don't have any  handshake
signals.

You could switch to use SCC's instead. We have a modified driver that
supports full HW handshake on all SCC's (and you  can  configure  the
number and size of I/O buffers to optimize for throughput).
