[Linux-users] ctrl-s locks up the linux terminal!

[Sundara Raman Rajagopalan]

Hi,

   I don't know if this is a "problem", but I have noticed that
 the ctrl-s key sequence seems to lock up any terminal...I thought that
 this was a problem with my key settings, but this happens at another
 linux system into which I can telnet to...can you tell me how to prevent
 this? ( ctrl-s happens to be "save" in Word, and I use this accidentally
 quite a lot in Vi :-( )

Regards,
