   I used to have problems when I had a serial terminal going through a
   DECServer to an Ultrix machine.  If I remember correctly, the DECServer was
   gettng in the way.  There was a DECServer command that turned off flow
   control, but I remember that the VMS users at that site got unhappy for
   some reason when they the DECServer didn't do flow control for them.

I believe you can turn off the flow control on a DECserver by setting
the session to pasthru.  This is done in the following manner:

1) connect host
2) send a break from your terminal, you will get the DECserver prompt
again
3) type "set session pasthru"
4) type "resume" to get back to your session.

Hope this helps.
