This is true...sorry. I was reading a cisco document
on the Cat 6000s where they explained flow control as
being 802.3Z flow control. I screwed up...(see
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/sft_6_1/configgd/ether.htm#xtocid170110)
Come to think of it...it's called 802.1x
(http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/802.1x.html). Cisco
supports it with some exceptions (set port
flowcontrol).
Guhhhh....
