XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters used to tell an intelligent device to stop or resume data transmission. In most systems, typing <Ctrl>-S sends the XOFF character (which tells the remote device to stop transmitting). Some equipment, including your modem, interpret

<Ctrl>-Q as XON (which tells the remote device to resume transmission), others interpret touching any key after <Ctrl>-S as an XON.
