I would like to use my C-s/C-q in emacs without having to remap the keys to something like C-^/C-\ . I can turn off the flow control on my terminal emulators (kermit, vterm), but still cannot get VMS to ignore flow control. I also tried using (set-input-mode nil t) no luck. All I had to do on a graphon terminal that emulated a was turn off the flow control from the setup screen, but that was at another site and it wasn't gnu-emacs. Have other people on VAX/VMS systems been able to use the C-s/C-q bindings on their PC terminals? Since, I was able to C-s/C-q at another site on a VAX, that the problem might be with the DECserver or my PC's bios? Could this be the problem?

With regards to turning off flow control when using a PC to connect to a VAX/VMS system... We use PC with MS-Kermit to connect to our VAX/VMS system. We too would rather not remap the C-s/C-q keys. Our async lines come into the system via DECServers and DECSAs (*really* old Dec terminal servers). The best solution we found was to use a command file (EMACS.COM) to invoke (or reattach to an existing) Emacs. Inside the com file we set the terminal to PASSALL mode. And upon leaving Emacs, you return to the com file whereby it sets the terminal back to interactive mode (NOPASSALL). This seems to work and kermit seems capable of keeping the screen updated without the need of C-s or C-q. I should mention that we don't alter the terminal server's settings, which still have flow control set (so non emacs users are still happy with us). I haven't tried speeds higher than 9600 baud so I don't know if kermit can keep up at higher speeds. This isn't ideal, but it gets up by....
