I'm trying to install UniPress's Emacs on a 4.2 system (freshly
converted from VMS).  Most of our terminals are VT100's, and their
heinous idea of Flow control characters is causing lots of trouble.
(VT100's "know" that XON/XOFF is always available via ^S/^Q.)  We are
running at 9600 Baud, and the padding in the drivers is all wrong.  

I called Unipress to ask for help, and they said I should remove the
bindings for ^s and ^q so that nothing would be hurt by the
flow-control characters.  This is a less than satisfactory solution.  

I know this subject was discussed just over a year ago.  (I attempt to
save all "technical" news, (emacs qualifies as technical) but the
articles from that period have disappeared.  I still have the article
ID's, titles, and authors, but the text of the articles has gone away.)
Could some either send me the results of the discussion, or a fix?
Please use mail, as I see no need to go through that entire discussion
again.  I will send summaries to anyone who requests it.

Thanks,
Chris
