I have an Anderson-Jacobson 4800 baud modem which uses the ordinary
phone lines. It works pretty well, except for one thing. It seems
to interpret ctrl-S and ctrl-Q. I have not found this documented anywhere
in the manuals, but it is obviously happening. After a ctrl-S
typed at my keyboard (in emacs, naturally), no other chacacters appear
until a ctrl-Q is typed. But then, the ultimate strangeness:
The ctrl-S HAS been passed on from my terminal to emacs, and so
has the ctrl-Q!
This has got me baffled. How in the world can a modem get away with
interpreting ctrl-S/ctrl-Q, and then passing them on as well? Am I
misinterpreting something? Is there a way to turn this off, other
AJ-4800 baud owners out there?
On a related note, I can't seem to get 8=bit data through the AJ.
My terminal has a meta-key which turns on the 8th bit on all characters.
By the time these characters get through the AJ modem they have somehow
been transformed to have proper parity, which is a disaster. Any
way to turn off this mode?
Thanks in advance.
