In the CSerialPort.c file at line 472 it states:

// FlowControl : 1->CRTSCTS , 2-> XON/XOFF , 3-> XON/OFF plus CRTSCTS, 0 
--> NONE


So the constants for FlowControl are:

SerialPort.None = 0
SerialPort.Hardware = 1 -> meaning CRTSCTS
SerialPort.Software = 2 -> meaning XON/XOFF
SerialPort.Both = 3 -> meaning XON/OFF plus CRTSCTS

Maybe we just need to add this bit of information (what the constant 
means) to the docmentation, as it could make sense to developers working 
with serial ports.

Would that help you as well?
