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.

I would deny this reality, but that wouldn't pay the bills...
