Briefly, it can't be done. More long windedly, The host uses the LAT protocol
to flow control data at the host end. The protocol does not contain commands
to flow control the link between the server and the terminal, nor does it
contain commands to change the state of the flow control flag in the server.
Finally, there is no utility to allow the host to change the state of the flag
via some other channel (there is such a utility for the DECServer 500 but you
would need to be on your System Administrators trusted list before you could
use it).

Sorry, you are going to have to get used to "set flow enaable/disable" at the
local prompt.
