Hi,
Has anyone had any problems with Terminus when pressing Control S and Control Q
to pause the display? Once I press Control S to pause the screen, 5 seconds
later it gurus. I cann't seem to find what causes it. Different Emulations,
changing buffers,.. nothing keeps it from doing this. It seems like a buffer
overflows or some type of timeout maybe, I am not sure.
Thanks,
Jim
Jim,
It may be simple…go to your serial preferences and make sure you've
got XON/XOFF flow control set. See if that helps.

Thanks Don,
I tried it on and off and no change. It seems strange because the screen
pauses, then when I use Control Q it is like it catches up. The screen scrolls
really fast untill it reaches the data that is currently being sent by
CompuServe.
I think Terminus is not telling CompuServe to pause. It is only pauses its own
display then crashing when a buffer fills up. I even tried changing my paths
to my harddrive so it wouldn't fill up. This is all just theory, but it kinda
describes the scenario.
I think I try playing with my terminal settings online. Who knows, I seem to
be the only one with this problem.
Thanks,
Jim
Jim,
Actually…that's exactly what's happening from your description, the
internal buffer is overfilling…and the terminal program can't handle it.
Your path would have nothing to do with it…the buffer is in RAM within the
terminal program and/or the operating system.
In that case…the best you could do would be to set serial prefs for
NONE on flow control…let it pass the ^S and ^Q on to CIS.
