One of our users wants to TELNET from a VAX running Wollongong TCP-IP to another system (a CDC Cyber 990) and run the EMACS editor on the remote system. Unfortunately, TELNET uses Control S for flow control purposes. Is their any way to tell TELNET to pas CONTROL-s just as it does any other character. We tried toggling the XON parameter with no success. We are running WIN/TCP vs 5.0, and the NOS/VE 1.5.1 on the CDC. Thanks for your help. Chris Tanner AECL-Chalk River TANNERC@CRL.AECL.CA

To get around the ^S problem, you need to add "SET TERM/NOTTS" to your login on the VMS system. This has the bad effect of allowing your terminal to receive too much data, but does make emacs work right. This info is current as of release 3.2, but I don't recall any changes that would make this break under 5.0. 5.1 changed the terminal control code, so all bets are off for that version (ie, I haven't tried it there). Have fun.... Warner -- Warner Losh imp@Solbourne.COM
