Some of you may know how mis-designed or mis-configured PACX systems tend to eat control characters (commonly ^S and ^Q)....I was walking around the house one day with tunes running through my head and this more or less fell into place for me. 1 2 3 4 1 2 Let me tell you how it will be There's 1 for you, 15 for me 'Cause I'm the PACX MAN Yeeaaah, I'm the PACX MAN Should two control chars seem too few Be thankful any at all get through 'Cause I'm the PACX MAN Yeeaaah, I'm the PACX MAN If you dial from home, the pacx is there I'm not happy If you blue-box in, it's in your hair with these four And hardwired lines are awfully rare lines - any So no matter what, there's a pacx right there suggestions? PACX MAN 'Cause I'm the PACX MAN Yeeaaah, I'm the PACX MAN Don't ask me why I munch those chars (Uh-uh, Mr. Ritchie...) If you don't want to connect to Mars (Uh-uh, Mr. Joy...) 'Cause I'm the PACX MAN Yeeaaah, I'm the PACX MAN And my advice for EMACS users PACX MAN Is to use vi like the rest of the lusers PACX MAN 'Cause I'm the PACX MAN Yeeaaah, I'm the PACX MAN And you're typing to no one but me...
