I think the designers of Emacs are the ones who are brain-damaged.
Leaving aside the fact that their editor is one big joke to those who
like using PROPER editors, XON-XOFF is now the de facto standard for
flow control and any terminal (or emulator) not supporting XON-XOFF
should NOT be used.
   I make no guarantees about my terminal emulator being able to handle
output at 9600 baud without XON/XOFF because I have assumed that people
are intelligent to know that even a true VT100 can't keep up at that
sort of speed (esp. with smooth scrolling on !).
