I seem to have fallen on a way to avoid the hanging problem with
Suntools.  So far, this method has worked with windows on a 750 with
4.2BSD and a Sequent with DYNIX 2.1.

For those of you who've missed it, the problem is briefly this: after
pausing GNU Emacs when rlogin'ed to another system in a Suntools
window (Sun 4.2 Rel 3.0), typing "fg" to get back to Emacs often
causes your window to hang entirely.

I've found that if I do a "clear" and then a couple of RETURNs before
typing "fg", I can always successfully re-enter GNU Emacs.  Don't ask
me why, because I'm clueless.  But it works.

I'd be curious to know if anybody else has a different experience.
Hope this helps.
