combat radio and ppp

I am trying to establish contact between two RedHat 486:s.
Both boxes have a combat radio with a radio modem attached
to their serial port.

Even if I start pppd with the silent option it activates RTS, which
results in CD going inactive and CTS goes active. (Since the link is
half duplex there is no way to both send and receive at the same time)

How do I disable the feature that _always_ activates RTS? I don't
want RTS when I am not sending data...

I have tried ckermit, but the same problem arises there even if I set
it to crtscts and half-duplex...
The radios are connected ok. I _can_ transmit data in _one_ direction
if I force the RTS low. The modems are supposed to be v.24 compliant.

What should I do?
