Note that the -8 option tells rlogin always to use raw mode, and
thus makes ^S/^Q virtually useless.  Nor should any of this be
necessary:  rlogin has built in a protocol by which it can detect
that the remote machine wants an eight bit data path, and will
switch in and out of raw mode as appropriate.

Unfortunately, the 4.2 rlogin (on which the Sun 3.0 rlogin is based)
is largely broken.  Install the 4.3 rlogin, with the 4.3 rcmd.c, on
the Suns.
