The "push" command (^[p) in MS-Kermit 3.00 sends an XOFF character to the modem before calling DOS. Using this to activate DSZ's term mode with a "dsz t" command causes most remote hosts to freeze. The remote host can be unfrozen by keyboarding Ctrl-Q in DSZ's terminal mode. Since there has been some discussion about file transfer speeds lately, I ran some tests as long as I had MS-Kermit set up.
