we've found that the telnet vt100 emulation under sun's pc-nfs (3.0) is
appears to be significantly better behaved with xon/xoff disabled than it
is with the xon/xoff enabled.  programs such as emacs were almost unusable
with the xon/xoff enabled (partly because ^s and ^q have meanings in emacs
and partly because stray control characters seemed to turn up with every
page forward or backward).

question:  is using telnet with xon/xoff disabled inadvisable for some
	reason ?
