This is the same XON/XOFF (software) flow control, whether typed by the user or generated by a terminal is not relevant. That is absolutely relevant. If they were generated by the user, the solution is "turn off that terminal feature". If they were generated by the terminal for flow control purposes, more change is needed (increased padding so there will be no flow control). > The solution is simply to turn off their effect (and I think > Emacs does that in sysdep.c, so why isn't it working?). The OP in the cited thread had that explicitly enabled due to a misunderstanding. In that case, we know the solution.
