Does MODE LPT1=COM1 observe COM port handshaking in Win XP?

When issuing commands like the two below:

%SystemRoot%\system32\mode.com COM2: BAUD=2400 PARITY=N DATA=8 STOP=1 dtr=HS
xon=OFF to=OFF odsr=OFF octs=OFF rts=OFF idsr=OFF

%SystemRoot%\system32\mode.com LPT1:=COM2:

Will the redirection observe the DTR handshaking?

In general, will MODE.COM redirection of a parallel to a serial port observe
the handshaking parameters selected? Will delivery of characters to the serial
port be stopped when the device attached to the COM port signals it is
temporarily not ready to accept more characters?

We are seeing cases with Windows XP where the answer is no, and garbage
characters are printed.
