I need to be able to run Emacs through a terminal emulator
(similar to "cu") program on another system.  The only difficulty
I have is that the other system generates ^S when it's input
buffers get full and ^Q when it is ready to handle more data.

Since Emacs runs in RAW mode, flow control is ignored.  Does anybody
have a fix that will allow flow control on Emacs' output?  I don't
care that ^S couldn't then be bound to a function.

My first idea was to bind a function to ^S which simply waited on a
"get-tty-character" until it saw ^Q.  This didn't work, of course, as
Emacs insists on updating the screen while it waits.

Thanks.
