I muttered and mumbled for a long time before breaking down and giving my terminal emulator a big (7K) received-character buffer, but there were enough programs and systems (especially ones that were several hops away over networks) that either wouldn't or didn't have time to respond to xoff. It was definitely worth it. This weekend I also finally took the time to perfect the last quirks in my vt100 emulation; I can now proudly say it passes the vttest program as well as the vt220 I use at work (except, of course, for the graphics modes that my hardware doesn't have). . . . . . . ... . . . . . . . . . . ... . .
