- The reason ^P doesn't work is because it is the default character to "force"
- transmission of a character. That's because tip uses some control characters
- locally. These characters include ^A and ^P. I do not know if ^S is one of
- them; to find it if it is, or something else, type ^P^S and see if it gets sent
- to the remote system.
-
- You can change these bindings by setting the local variables raisechar (^A,
- which forces all output to uppercase) and force (^P) to something else. To set
- them do a <RETURN> ~s escape, then type raisechar=<character> force=<character>
- etc. I do not know how you disable them, try either raisechar= or !raisechar.
-
- As for ^S, check first the" stty -a" settings and see "ixon" is set; change it
- to -ixon if it is. This may or may not work. You must also see if the remote
- system is configured to recognize ^S as suspend or pass it through; check the
- same setting on your remote machine. Finally, check to see if either modem is
- doing in-band flow control.
