It might help if we knew what release you're running, and on what sort
of hardware.  We run 3.5 on Sun-3s and *our* emacs (a Gosling
derivative) sees ^S and ^Q just fine.  Or perhaps you have a patch in
so that one uses (say) ^\ and ^^ instead of ^S and ^Q, for network
connections, and this same patch is taking effect when you're on the
console, so ^S and ^Q get ignored?
