You can do it in the chat script.  Ugly, but it works.

Or... if your modem has the option of turning xon/xoff on or off in one
direction only, you might find that you can, for instance, tell
the modem to honor xon/xoff from the host but not to send an xoff
character to the host no matter what.  This seems to sit happily with
the g protocol, and also doesn't interfere with dial-in terminal sessions.
