we've found that the telnet vt100 emulation under sun's pc-nfs (3.0) is appears to be significantly better behaved with xon/xoff disabled than it is with the xon/xoff enabled. programs such as emacs were almost unusable with the xon/xoff enabled (partly because ^s and ^q have meanings in emacs and partly because stray control characters seemed to turn up with every page forward or backward). question: is using telnet with xon/xoff disabled inadvisable for some reason ? --monty
