I'm sitting here watching pages of verbose messages on an ssh session in
the US. Probably because of the fact that they're all on holiday, the
bandwidth is miniscule.

Put me in mind of the good old days* of VMS, where you could Ctrl-O, and
the display wasn't written to any more. This was actually important at
times ( ie loads of output could bugger up the buffering writing to tape
and decimate throughput ), but it occurs to me that it might be doin the
same thing over this connection.

Was it or an equivalent ever implemented does anyone know??

Cheers,

Steve

weren't that good were they (:
