Yes. But why? For example printers today don't need XOFF anymore. Linux uses CUPS and once you fired up a print job CUPS itself talks to the printer. No need for XOFF there. If you list something on a TTY you can usually use PG-UP to see what on top outside the terminal's view area. -- Andreas You know you are a redneck if you ever financed a tattoo.
