This must be set to -"no XON/XOFF" in order for Emacs to work. Sometimes there is an +"no XON/XOFF" in order for Emacs to work. (For example, on a VT220 +you may select "No XOFF" in the setup menu.) Sometimes there is an escape sequence that the computer can send to turn flow control off and on. If so, perhaps the termcap `ti' string should turn flow control off, and the `te' string should turn it on. @@ -1631,12 +1632,14 @@ in termcap.c, tparam.c, term.c, scroll.c, cm.c or dispnew.c. Some versions of rlogin (and possibly telnet) do not pass flow control characters to the remote system to which they connect.

One way to cure this is to disable flow control on the local host (the one running rlogin, not the one running rlogind) using the stty command, before starting the rlogin process.

One way around this is to start another shell before starting rlogin, and -- 2.39.2
