better solution: don't type ^S when talking from a vt100.
seriously, disabling echo is pretty drastic, and perhaps
more important, is insufficient.  what happens if you get
a line hit that looks like a ^S?  or you accidently cat
a binary file that contains a ^S byte? if you really want
to make this (~)impossible, modify kermit (and tip, etc) to
not send ^S's to terminals (possibly only vt100's).

best solution: get rid of the vt100.
