It does not work, not in the 1.10 we used to use, nor in the 1.11
we're using now. I did some work on ours to get telnet to live
through the keepalive stuff, and I did try out the ^S/^Q literals,
but though our baby emacs works fine on the serial port it doesn't
through telnet. (It's this, _thing_, of uncertain pedigree called
siv. But it's small, around 68KB [stripped] on a MIPS.)
