Emacs with ... control-s or control-q, I'm glad someone else asked! Has anyone been able to find out if either the IRMA Fastlink board (which uses some bizarre packetization scheme) or Racal-Vadic's new 9600 baud modem can handle uucp. How about "layers" (the protocol for the TTY 5620 "Blit")? Thanks -- ## Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs
