I suspect this question has gone around the newsgroup before but I cannot recall
the outcome. Is there a simple way to get around thw problem of flow control
via ^S and ^Q when you are using emacs via a Vax? 

Specifically, we use dialup lines to come into a Vax terminal server and then
telnet or rsh to our own UNIX machines. once there, we want to use emacs, which 
works great until we need to do an incremental search, or some other command
that requires ^S. Then things hang, we have to use ^Q to bring the connection
back to life, and then figure out what to do next.

I know we could reassign some commands to other keys but this doesn't seem to
work well for ^S and the incremental search, perhaps because of its dual
function of searching for a new string, or the one last used, I don't know. And
besides, we would like to have the same feel of the program no matter how we
get into it.

Anyone else out there tackled this one?

Thanks,

Rob
