Remove the 'P' for pause completely (or ignore it, if you do not have source).
Have the users configure THEIR modems to respect XON/XOFF flow control (&K4 on
Hayes 9600 and compatible modems). Then have your users use ^S to stop and ^Q
to start.  Since the modem is local to the user, the data should stop
immediately.
