I know of a Emacs subset work-alike from Sweden - AMIS, and 
how they've solved the problem with Xon-Xoff. The editor has
now been given a command "M-X XonXoff Mode", which maps the
character C-S to C-H ("hit" - you use C-B for "backwards" anyway...)
and C-Q to C-\ (in the style of Unix quote...). The Xon and Xoff
characters are then freed to do flow control with. There is
one problem, however - how do you insert a C-Q in your text
(or C-S for that matter)? I have read somewhere that the author
of Goslings Emacs is *very* much against using ^S and ^Q for
flow control - what he said (wrote) was basically that he did
*not* intend to support inferior terminals uncapable of receiving
data at sufficient speed without flow control...
