  We have this kind of problem a lot at SAIC.  DEC is very XON/XOFF
oriented.  In fact the VT200 series terminals (which is what I think the
PRO/350 is really emulating) will not really send a ^S at all.  When you
type ^S, the screen will freeze and the terminal will not transmit a ^S
unless the VAX keeps sending data.
  With the version of Gosmacs that we have, there is a "set xon mode on"
command.  In this mode ^S will pause Emacs, and ^Q will continue it.  Of
course this means that ^S and ^Q cannot be used as commands or as parts
of commands.
  My only other suggestions are to reduce the speed to 2400 baud, try
SET TERMIANL /CRFILL=9 /LFFILL=9 (or some lesser values) to pad things
with nulls (this won't work if you have an older version of Gosmacs that
only works in /PASSALL mode), and turn off smooth scroll if it's on.
