Your problem with control-S is probably coming from your
SIO line configuration. Use /com/tctl to check if the
"insync" and/or "sync" parameters are set. If they are,
then the SIO line is using x-on/x-off handshaking (ie.
the control-S and control-Q characters) to control the
flow of data into ("insync") the Apollo and out to ("sync")
the terminal. Use "tctl" to turn off these parameters, and
use cts and/or rts to control the handshaking on the SIO
line. Of course, your cables from the terminals/modems to
the Apollo will have to include the extra wires used for
hardware handshaking, and the VT100 terminals will also
have to be configured to use hardware handshaking rather
than x-on/x-off. I have seen this problem with VT100's
connected to a variety of different systems. The problem
will occur on any system using x-on/x-off handshaking.
