[cobalt-developers] Control + S lockup.



OK, this has been mildly annoying for some time, but I've finally had
the last straw.  So now I'm going to ask for help.

First, here's the setup:
Raq4i
SSH
Putty as the client.

The problem is repeatable.

Whenever I use pico, pressing Ctrl+s causes the SSH session to stop
responding.  No subsequent key sequence that I can think of will fix
this.  I do not have this problem on my RH7.1 server, so I'm not sure
what the cause is.

Here's the details:  I usually run emacs as my main programming
environment.  To save a file in emacs, you Ctrl+x, Ctrl+s.  I like to do
this whenever I've made a major change that would make me cry if I lose
it.

Well, when I'm operating as root, my emacs preferences aren't available,
so I use pico.  The only problem is, pressing Ctrl+s in pico causes the
very thing you don't want to happen.  Instead of saving your work, it
freezes, causing you to lose your work.

Because this doesn't happen on my other server, I have to wonder what
causes it.  Could it be my firewall?  If so, why can I press Ctrl+s in
emacs?  Maybe it's the terminal settings in the Raq?  

Any suggestions?
