[net.emacs] Flow Control problems in GNU Emacs: SOLVED!

You got it backwards.  Bind Control-^ to gnu-emacs's quoted-insert
command and Control-\ to forward-search.  On vt100's Control-^ is typed
as Control-BackQuote, which "sounds" like you're quoting the character.
Works fine once you get used to it, OR, if you're like me, in which case
you learned it that way!

P.S.  Gosh, it sure is scary when it says "this message will be posted
to hundreds of machines ..."
