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. -- ---------------- Marty Sasaki net: sasaki@harvard.{arpa,uucp} Havard University Science Center phone: 617-495-1270 One Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138
