I have run into the same problem. The solution is documented in the
elisp manual
and is also available inside the emacs info mode. I have made up a small
file
called modem.el which accomplishes what you need. Just load it from the
command
line when you start emacs. You also need to instruct your modem driver
to
translate C-S to C-\ and C-Q to C-^. The elisp file instructs emacs to
do the
reverse mapping.

    (setq i (1+ i))))
