	This may be a FAQ but here goes anyway.  I've setup
	some VT320 to talk to a DEC server. I've noticed that
	when users connect to a UNIX account and run EMACS
	strange things happen. The down arrow key causes the 
	EMACS to flip out after a few "DOWN ARROWS". I attributed
	this to the XON XOFF flow control. If I set flow control
	to off things work great. The problem is that when this
	is set to off the "HOLD SCREEN" button and LED are disabled.
	Control-S will hold the screen but not light the HOLD SCREEN
	LED. Now if a user hits Control-S when they ment to hit
	Shift-S the screen freezes and they are stuck.

	What I need to know is:
	What kind of setup do you need to talk to EMACS and IRC (for that
        matter) without having Xon=OFF?

				Thanks in advance,
				Phil
