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 decvax!genrad!grkermit!chris allegra!linus!genrad!grkermit!chris
