Why just include the lines:

(global-unset-key "\C-s")
(global-unset-key "\C-q")

in your .emacs file? Granted you lose isearch-forward that way, but you
can you something like:

(global-set-key "\C-z" 'isearch-forward)

That's how I've always done it in a DEC environment.

If I've misunderstood the problem, please let me know what the proper
solution turns out to be.
