If someone has a solution, please tell me too. SCO TC/IP is *broken*
in a big way, emacs (and other packages) are a pain to use when SCO
braindeadism refuses to deal with flow control in the proper way (i.e.
ignore it when the other endpoint goes into raw mode). To add insult
to injury, the local SCO dealer thinks it's a feature and not a bug!
Grrrr....

P.S. Maybe I'm getting all wound up over nothing, and there is a
simple way to get it to Do The Right Thing, but have R all the FM I
could find haven't found a solution yet.
