> ...what a good idea; lock the keyboard when a ^O is received...

If you want a still better idea, consider one terminal that we recently
tried out (we rejected it as soon as I read the manual) which used (as
I recall) ^N and ^O to switch the terminal back and forth between XON/XOFF
and CTS/RTS handshaking!!!  What incredible stupidity...
