The problem is worse than that. Since the MODEM FTP protocol
includes a field containing the "block number", if your system/
network/terminal/concentrator/whatever is going to freeze when
you send in a ^S, then you will NEVER be able to transfer ANY
file greater than 18 blocks long (becasues 19 is a ^S). This
is why "totally transparent" networks had better REALLY be
totally transparent... (What does EMACS do?)
