[gnu.emacs] XON, XOFF Problems

rob@fmg.bt.co.uk (Rob Booth) (12/14/88)

We are using GNU Emacs 18.41.40 on Sun 3/60 workstations. It works fine on the
Sun console but when used on a terminal connected to a serial port we
experience problems  caused by Emacs not recognising flow control signals.

We have tried disabling flow control on the terminal and setting the padding in
termcap to the values suggested in the Emacs distribution; but with no success.

In the Emacs documentation it says that Emacs can be made to use flow control
and that reference should be made to the 'installation' file. I don't have this
file on my distribution so can anyone tell me how its done or mail me the file.


			   Many thanks
