Well, actually they sort of work. If I see a lot of text streaming across the screen and I hit ^S to halt the flow or even ^C to interrupt, nothing happens until at least 4 or 5 more screensfullof text go by and then MAYBE ^S or ^C will take effect." My guess is that it's not the version of telnet from NCSA at fault; this behavior is true for most (if not all) varieties of telnet clients, and pttys on Unix. This would have to do with how well OOB (out of band) signal handling is performed, I think. Some do it well, others do not. This doesn't help you much, I know. The answer is that there isn't a good answer, apart from using "more" on your Unix machine. Tom
