The pdf for the ED2 says that this combination will work,
but that is not true. Visit the link in my previous post.

I've read somewhere (but now can't find where), that comm
between host PC and ED2 is carried out w/o XON/XOFF chars.

The way I understood it:

FLIP sends more bytes then ED2 is capable of processing.
ED2 will receive bytes correctly, but buffer overrun will occur.
When ED2 sends bytes, then there is no problem - the PC has enough RAM.

Well, this probably isn't true, but that is how I understood it.
The flash programming is done in chunks of 128bytes, and ED2
has more than enough.

In my particular case, I was able to read the flash with 57600,
but not to program it faster that 9600.
