I think, it's a problem with the XON/XOFF protocoll. If XON/XOFF is enabled
,,noises'' causing a XOFF-character to be recognized would HANG the RS-232.

One solution: DISABLE this feature (->Rsconf(xbios)). Otherwise you have to
,,patch'' within system-memory (the XOFF-flag) .... but I don't think, that
this is a proper way ... ???

I don't know about such a GEM-call BUT: there's some kind of a VDI-function
that does this --- you can also work with font-attributes using LINE-A
functions (init(line-a)) ...
