[gnu.emacs] xon/xoff problem

velasco@beowulf.ucsd.edu (Gabriel Velasco) (06/28/89)

	I am new to emacs, but I am sold.  I use it with several different
terminals and it works well with all but one.
	At home, I dial into the university using a PC compatible and a 2400
baud modem.  I connect to a LAN which is then connected to a 9600 baud modem
connected to a Pyramid computer.
	The problem is this.  Somewhere on the system, one of the components
is generating C-q's and C-s's.  I have disabled the xon/xoff handshake option
in my telecomm package (procomm) and for the LAN.  I use the stty command to
turn of the tandem mode and undefine the stop and start characters for the 
modem connected to the pyramid.  The C-s's are no longer suspending the system.
In other words, when I press C-s intentionally it works properly, but 
occasionally, I am put into the incremental search mode spontaneously.  This
happens very infrequently now but it happens almost every time that I try to
get help for the help option. i.e. C-h C-h C-h.
	I am emulating a VT100 and it works well for everything else.  I have
even tried modifying the termcap entry, but to no avail.
	I could always use jove when I call up from home.  Jove works properly.
	Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a nice solution?  Has 
this question been asked a million times on this newsgroup?

Thanks, in advance.
