Cool emacs flame and request for help
<FLAME SIMMER TO>
       Some of the standard key bindings in emacs are becoming a nuisance
of great proportion.  ^S, ^Q and ^P are all used by the network devices
between me and the program, to wit:
       ^S = xoff (pause, etc)
       ^Q = xon  (continue, etc)
       ^P = data link escape (for my localnet 20 box I use ^P^H as my
                               command sequence characters to avoid
                               escape,del which has even worse effects)
<FLAME OFF>
Does someone have a solution to this problem which is reasonable, and still
allows network controls on the line?  I know I could remove the key bindings
but would like some thoughts on alternatives.
       Also, the UNIX line I normally access is a 9600 bps tandem mode
line.  Tandem works fine, and I would hate to lose it considering that
our system is often heavily loaded.  Also, this terminal is an Ann Arbor
Ambassador which will also flow control automagically, preventing data loss.
