Subject: How to get "literal next" in xterm?

    It would seem that the "new" tty line discipline (NTTYDISC) does not work
    absolutely well with xterm.  In particular, I can't get the "literal next"
    to work correctly: while stty shows that the lnext character is ^V, there
    is no way I can mask such special characters as ^C.  Help, anyone?

This is probably a shell or OS bug, not an xterm bug.  I get different
results depending on which shell I try it with.  For example, I could
not get any of the Ultrix shells to work, but most of the Sun ones
did.  All this with X11R4.
