Summary: Is there a standard way around ^s ^q problems?

Here are two elementary questions:

[1] Does this group have a "frequently asked questions" list?  Is it
ftpable from anywhere?

[2] Is there a *standard* way around the ^s/^q problem on systems that use
that barbaric hardware flow control?  

When I arrived here the systems did not even *have* emacs.  I installed it
(we are running Berkeley 4.3 UNIX soon to be upgraded to "reno") and some
kind of terminal concentrator we run through eats ^s/^q.  I would like to
find some standard solution to this problem, e.g., I would like to
make available a new keyboard mapping for everyone here (so we don't all
make ad-hoc changes) and would prefer some kind of standard mapping. 

Another modem concentrator we are using also eats ^y -- but that's probably
unusual! 

I know that [2] is probably on [1] (if it exists), so please excuse me for
taking up bandwidth!

Thanks!
