Our local net uses XON-XOFF flowcontrol, and therefore I've had to hack out Gosmacs to accomodate this. The solution is to squirrel away the terminal special characters in the appropriate structs; place the terminal in CBREAK rather than in RAW mode; check to see if the user's terminal is on a flow-control line (by looking in /etc/ttytype); if so, we don't throw the start/stop characters away with all the rest. This means that you'll have to rebind search-forward & quote-character (etc) to sequences not involving ^S/^Q when you are dialling-in , and also the help info/ manual will need updating to take account of this. I admit it's not nice; it was only ever done as a temporary hack, but .... If you ask, I'll mail you the altered source files (TrmTERM.c & dsp.c) Kay. -- "Happiness is: Having a computer go down on you." ... mcvax!ukc!qtlon!flame!ubu!kay
