[comp.sys.dec] gnuemacs18.55 with DECserver200

hsong@nvuxl.UUCP (g hugh song) (12/20/90)

Help.
This time it is not just flow control problem, I think.
The symptom is like this:

Whenever the emacs program issues "Quit" on the status line with the
bell sound, the keyboard activity is not transfered to the host 
computer (DEC Station 5000/200 Ultrix 4.0) until I type F13 (LF key in 
VT100 mode) on the VT terminal.  Curiously this only happens through
DEC server hardware in combination with gnuemacs.   This means

It is OK on the console.
It is OK through ethernet bypassing DECserver.

I can exit from the emacs session by typing ^X^C [LF].  Then emacs displays
the usual confirm-query on the status line asking ".. is not saved.  ..save
(y/n)?"  So I type y [LF].  And then " ... really wnat to exit? (yes/no)?"
So I type "yes [Return] [LF]".  Once I get the normal  shell prompt, everthing
becomes normal.  Yes! it becomes normal.  This makes it hard to identify
which side is at fault.

Have you had this kind of problem before with a similar setup?
What is the solution?

Thanks.  Please email.
