I would be surprised if that is the case, as the RTSa/CTSa-pins on the
SCC definelately is connected to the 422-driver. And I have
successfully used handshaking with CoNnect under TOS and MagiC...

However, you *must* use a proper cable (232->422), as the 422
handshaking is a bit different from 232 (422 is electrically
balanced).
