I had the same problem with uEmacs so I modified the input routines to
pass ^S and ^Q.  I imagine you could do the same thing in gnu.  Of course
this will not make emacs experts very happy since you will have to rebind
the routines called by these keys to something else.  I uses M-/ for ^S,
since it was similar to vi.
