Many terminals require flow control to work properly, especially if there is a sequence of slow operations such as line insert at a high baud rate. Any reasonable EMACS implementation allows you to rebind your search etc. keys (we use ASCII FS in place of ^S) and supports DC3/DC1 flow control (which it should do simply by not disabling flow control if it was set in the terminal handler flags).
