Summary: 

Harvard has Sytek's Localnet 20 which is severely brain damaged with
regards to flow control. If you have xon/xoff flow control enabled,
when you type an xon the local network card stops output to your
terminal and also sends the xon to the host. This means that even if
you wanted to, you couldn't do flow control right and still have
things bound to control-S.

Most of the hosts that are connected to Localnet run at 2400 baud, and
I run my terminal at 9600 baud. I turn flow control off on my local
network card, and turn it off on my terminal (vt102) as well. On very
rare occasions I will lose characters.
